Pleistocene speleothem fracturing in the foreland of the Western Carpathians: a case study from the seismically active eastern margin of the Bohemian Massif

Original language description

We studied speleothem fracturing styles and their tectonic context in three cave systems situated in the eastern Bohemian Massif close to the Western Carpathians orogenic front: the Za hájovnou, Javoříčko and Mladeč Cave. Based on the morphology of speleothems, in particularly thin stalactites, and supporting evidence from the cave interior, a tectonic origin of the breakage is inferred. U/Th series dating of the stalactites, supported by Optically stimulated luminiscence (OSL) and 14C dating of soft sediments indicate that most of the fracturing occurred in Upper Pleistocene, with the last fracturing events corresponding to MIS6 and MIS5 stages. OSL dating of faulted soft-sediment infill may even indicate latest Pleistocene to early Holocene tectonicevents to occur in the Mladeč Cave. The speleothem fracturing is discussed in the regional context of the seismically active Nysa-Morava Zone situated at the junction between the Bohemian Massif (Elbe Fault Zone) and the Western Carpathia
