INDICATIONS FOR LARGE TERTIARY ROTATION IN THE CARPATHIAN-NORTHERN PANNONIAN REGION OUTSIDE THE NORTH HUNGARIAN PALEOGENE BASIN
Abstract
The first results of paleomagnetic directions from the Neogene sedimentary rocks of the western part of the Western Carpathians and the northern part of Pannonian Basin showed counter-clockwise rotation of the investigated areas. Further studies were extended to the Central Carpathians Paleogene basins (Levocske vrchy Mts. on the eastern and the northern part of the Banovska kotlina Basin in Western Slovakia), the Sambron-Kamenica Zone and the Lower Miocene sediments from the North Hungary. All the samples are sediments, mostly turbidites, with the exception of the fresh water limestones from the North Hungary. The results from the suitable localities (Labatlan — Northern Hungary, Omastina — Western Slovakia and Demjata — Eastern Slovakia) showed counter-clockwise-rotation between 65–105°.
