Tufas in the Podhale Synclinorium (southern Poland) occur as encrustations on moss and plant remains, crusts, porous, clastic massive tufas. The tufas are almost entirely composed of calcite with small admixture quartz, illite chlorite. These deposits indicate biotic and/or abiotic origin calcium carbonate. vicinity map-scale minor fault zones. They precipitate near fissure springs linked faults rocks or seepages along them. Exposures several oblique lateral zones related to Białka Biały...
Abstract A newly recognized Mnin restraining stepover is identified in the Permo-Mesozoic cover of western part Late Palaeozoic Holy Cross Mountains Fold Belt (Poland), within a fault pattern consisting dextral strike-slip faults. The formation large contractional structure at Cretaceous – Cenozoic transition displays significant role faulting along border Teisseyre-Tornquist Zone, foreland Polish Carpathian Orogen. Theoretical relationships between maximum offsets/ mean step length, as well...
Bedding-parallel calcite veins in Devonian rocks from the southern part of Holy Cross Mountains Fold Belt central Poland occur as tabular bodies on shallow dipping well vertical Late Paleozoic map-scale and mesoscopic fold limbs. The syntaxial antitaxial bedding parallel contain kinematic indicators such rotated blocks, fibre boundary steps, boudin trains, beef-like structures congruous steps. These show a sense movement consistent with flexural slip typical folding resulting buckling during...
We investigated exhumed damage zones of dextral strike-slip faults dissecting the south-western part Mesozoic cover Late Palaeozoic Holy Cross Mountains Fold Belt. Structural observations allow to examine top 1–2 km fault that deformed asymmetrically with most intense controlled by non-planar geometry faults. The deformational style and roughness slip surfaces on subsidiary within deflections traces in restraining releasing bends were facilitated rock fabric porosity. High porous sandstones...
Bed-parallel veins that originated in organic-rich laminated rocks are considered to be related organic matter (OM) content. The presence of OM and lamination affects the properties host increases bulk rock anisotropy. occurring lower Palaeozoic mudstone formations northern part Polish Caledonian Foredeep Basin were previously interpreted as having been formed a result horizontal shortening. present work extends study area c. 65 km south previous investigations identify factors influenced...
Recognition of fractures and faults related to different types folding is important for understanding how fluids flow in folds or which parts represent a better productive sector reservoirs due to, example, changes the intensity distribution fractures. In this paper, we suggest that seismic data alone may be insufficient determine style buckle folding. The differences mechanical properties rock masses favour development two main internal deformation within folds, originated as result...
Abstract In a recently published report focused on the role of swelling Triassic clays as dominant process that led to local steepening competent Jurassic strata, its authors presented an opinion lack evidence for existence Gnieździska–Brzeziny strike‐slip fault along contact between and rocks. This discussion presents structural, geophysical, cartographic geomechanical data indicating rocks is defined by vertical dextral fault, which was formed after tilting beds in Late Cretaceous. The...
The authors applied seismic refraction tomography (SRT) for imaging geometry, surrounding medium and internal details of fault zones. applicability the SRT technique to structural analysis zones is demonstrated. Typical effects zone occurrence on velocity field distribution described discussed. Three examples from southern Poland are presented, illustrating description. A phenomenon increase in some introduced ascribed presence residual stress recently active
Abstract A gas and crashed rock burst in 2009 the Rudna Copper Mine was motivation to re-investigate dolomite succession of first Permian cyclothem (Werra), which covers ceiling section excavations. Gas traps were recognized by previous research; however, stability during mining operations has not been studied yet. Mitigation future bursts requires a complex analysis these traps, involving petrological, petrophysical mechanical reservoir facies. The results indicate significant influence...
The damage zones of exhumed strike-slip faults dissecting Jurassic carbonates in the south-western part Late Palaeozoic Holy Cross Mountains Fold Belt reveal second-order and fractures infilled with syntectonic calcite. subsequent development a structural pattern microscopic fault-related structures calcite infillings reflects activity that began Cretaceous (Late Maastrichtian) lasted until early Miocene (Langhian). fabric veins provides insights into evolution permeable were main pathways...
The structural pattern developed within metre to microscopic scale thrust and strike-slip fault zones exposed in the Palaeogene flysch rocks of Fore-Dukla Thrust Sheet south-eastern part Silesian Nappe, Outer Carpathians, Poland, reveals evidence for upper crustal deformation fluid flow. Syntectonic dawsonite [NaAlCO3(OH)2] indicates following series deformational events zones: i) detachment buckle folding resulting from movement along faults; ii) faulting as a compensation shortening,...
Landslide processes are growing problem in Polish part of Western Carpathians. We discuss application electric resistivity tomography (ERT) survey for flysch landslide site description. Refering to sites known geological context, and surveyed with seismic refraction method we able distinguish signal deposits from bedrock. Such approach alowed us indicate usefull information be obtained ERT surveys, as well shortcomings the
