The Permian and/or Triassic ages (278–216 Ma) of subalkaline postorogenic acidic metavolcanics and metasubvolcanics, in the contact area between the Tatric and Veporic Zones, correspond to early Alpine taphrogeny of the West-Carpathian basement in the area of a large (Pohorela) normal detachment fault/shear zone. The dated complexes are mostly represented by Permian bimodal subalkaline volcanics, often surrounded by pyroclastics and accompanied by subvolcanic bodies indicating transtensional, narrow, temporary active furrows above deep-seated shear zones. They reflect a continental rifting phase (taphrogeny) of the southern parts of the central West-Carpathian basement belonging to a Paleotethys or Cimmerian passive margin of the Meliata (-Vardar-Hallstatt) oceanic basin.
