Repeated slip along a major decoupling horizon between crustal-scale nappes of the Central Western Carpathians documented in the Ochtiná tectonic mélange
Original language description
The Ochtiná Unit is situated in the ENE-WSW-trending contact zone between two crustal-scale nappes, the upper Gemer Unit and the lower Vepor Unit, in the Central Western Carpathians, Slovakia. The Ochtiná Unit consists mainly of Carboniferous phyllitic schists and sandstones enclosing lenses of diverse lithological nature and contrasting metamorphic history. Peak PT conditions obtained by means of phase equilibrium modelling from lenses of amphibolite and chloritoid schist in this unit indicate 500-600oC and 4-6.5 kbar and 500-520 oC and 9-11 kbar, respectively. These PT conditions contrast not only with the greenschist-facies metamorphism of dominant phyllite but also with each other documenting two distinct metamorphic field gradients related to Variscan and Alpine metamorphic events. Geochemical data reveal an affinity of the amphibolite lenses similar to Variscan rocks in the basement of the upper Gemer Unit and of the chloritoid schist similar to Alpine rocks in the cover of the
