Structural evolution and U/Pb dating of the Hammar Domain (East-African Orogeny)
Belule, Bezuneh Melka ; Verner, Kryštof (advisor) ; Závada, Prokop (referee)
in English Studied parts of the Hammar Domain and Adola-Moyale Belt is situated at the junction of the Arabian Nubian Shield (ANS) and Mozambique Belt (MB) as a crucial area where to study the overall imprint of the East-African Orogeny in Ethiopia. Based on detailed field geological mapping, morphotectonic analysis of Digital Elevation Model, detailed structural analysis and U/Pb dating results of biotite orthogneiss from the Hammar Domain the overall tectonic evolution associated with the East-African Orogeny is interpreted. The structural evolution of the northern Hammar Domain and northwestern tip of the Adola- Moyale Belt could be defined into four deformation phases D1 to D4 resulted in origin of: (a) Relict compositional banding (S1) of flat-lying orientation defining the primary contacts of high- to medium grade lithologies, (b) superimposed steeply to moderately dipping ~N-S to ~NW-SE trending compressional foliation (S2) due to a regional ~E-W oriented compression and (c) later sub-horizontal to gently NW dipping foliation (S3) associated with well-developed NW plunging lineation. Furthermore, the localized tectonic activity was concentrated in form of narrow brittle-ductile to brittle ~N-S to ~NW-SE trending shear zones, commonly accompanied by hydrothermal mineralization.

Deformation and petrological record of polyphase quartzo-feldspathic rocks in Erzgebirge, Bohemian Massif
Kryl, Jakub ; Lexa, Ondrej (advisor) ; Závada, Prokop (referee) ; Hasalová, Pavlína (referee)
The Erzgebirge dome, exposing Proterozoic - Early Palaeozoic metagranitoids and metasedimentary rocks of the Saxothuringian domain in the Bohemian Massif, is formed by a tectonic stack of several UHP-HP and HT units exhumed during the Variscan continental subduction-collision process. A systematic study of orthogneiss deformation microstructures carried out on a regional scale has been done to evaluate these units' extent and relative structural position in the subduction complex. Five different microstructural types have been distinguished, revealing two overprinting sequences with 1) coarse-grained microstructures in the parautochthonous Kateřina-Reitzenhain Dome and 2) fine- grained microstructures in the allochthonous HP-HT Gneiss Eclogite Unit I. P-T conditions of the individual overprinting microstructures calculated by conventional thermobarometry suggest continuous deformation during exhumation along two contrasting P-T paths. The warmer one in the parautochthonous unit showed exhumation from ~13.5 kbar and ~820 ◦C to ~3 kbar and ~500 ◦C, while the colder one in the allochthonous unit showed exhumation from ~16 kbar and ~740 ◦C to ~3 kbar and ~400 ◦C. The overprinting microstructures are associated with vertical shortening interpreted as ductile thinning. This deformation started at depths...
Mechanisms of differentiation and emplacement of peraluminic granite magma: Říčany pluton, Bohemian Massif
Trubač, Jakub ; Žák, Jiří (advisor) ; Závada, Prokop (referee)
English abstrakt This thesis is focused on emplacement mechanisms of granitic magma into upper continental crust. The studied area is the Říčany pluton due to its unusual and asymmetric shape. Therefore, it represents a suitable intrusion for interpretation different models referring to emplacement of granitic magma. Common model for ascent of magma is incremental diking in present. The Říčany pluton of the Central Bohemian Plutonic Complex is a post-tectonic elliptical shallow-level intrusion emplaced into low-grade Neoproterozoic and Lowe Carboniferous times (~337 Ma). It comprises of outer, more fractionated, strongly porphyritic granite and inner, less evolved, weakly porphyritic granite. Mesoscopic foliation represents an onion-skin pattern and corresponds well to the magnetic (AMS) foliations. Magnetic lineation has a gentle dip (0-20ř) and closely parallels with the pluton contact in its outer part whereas the lineation dips steeply (60-70ř) with a variable trend in the pluton interior. Author interprets these fabrics as a result of a helical flow, which is a faster subvertical flow in the low-viscosity pluton centre being accompanied by a subhorizontal flow in the outer, higher-viscosity (phenocryst-rich) margin. The proposed scenario of the helical magma flow can provide a viable mechanism for the...
Geodynamic evolution and post-collisional magmatic activity in the Arabian-Nubian Shield (East African Orogeny) and southwestern Moldanubian Zone (Central European Variscides)
Megerssa, Leta Alemayehu ; Verner, Kryštof (advisor) ; Závada, Prokop (referee) ; Johnson, Kenneth (referee)
The Variscan orogenic belt along the exhumed root domain, known as the Moldanubian Zone as well as the Arabian-Nubian Shield (ANS) in the East African Orogeny (EAO) of Ethiopia, are considered as typical areas for studying late-orogenic (post-collisional) processes and magmatism. Based on a wider range of field and analytical methods: field structural mapping, anisotropy of magnetic susceptibility (AMS) analysis, thermobarometric calculation and P-T evolution, conventional U/Pb dating, a reconstruction of geodynamic evolution and magmatism in the southwestern part of Moldanubian Zone (Bohemian Massif) and Tokar-Barka Terrain (southern part of Arabian-Nubian Shield is undertaken. The Variscan case portrays the peculiar overprint by the Late Orogenic tectonothermal event which is absent in the case of the Arabian-Nubian Shield (ANS) hence offering a compelling contrast to investigate the possible underlying mechanism involved for the different processes in the post-orogenic phase. In the southern ANS a post-collisional intrusive Chewo pluton composed of monzodiorite and quartz monzonite marks the late tectonic overprint which intruded into a low-grade Neoproterozoic juvenile crustal Tokar-Barka terrane. Thermobarometric estimations indicate its emplacement to be c. 10-13 Km depth, idealized from AMS...
Characteristics of polyphase deformation in quartz microstructure: an example from the Krkonoše-jizera Unit
Očenášková, Eva ; Jeřábek, Petr (advisor) ; Závada, Prokop (referee)
Quartzite samples taken in the east part of Krkonoše-Jizera Massif belong to metasedimentary cover of paraautochtonous unit. Rocks underwent a polyphase deformation which established a strong shape preffered orientation (SPO) of quartz grains. In folded quartz veins, deformation overprint mechanisms and microstructure, CPO and SPO relations were studied. For determination of crystal preffered orientations (CPO) the method of computer integrated polarization microscopy (CIP) was used. Microstructural analysis was focused on grain sizes, aspect ratios, long axis orientations and their relation to the deformation overprint grade. Results implies that dominant mechanism of quartz grain recrystallization is grain boundary migration. Folds were created by simple shear in microscale. The deformation overprint grade is strongest in the top of the fold hinge, where grains achieve highest aspect ratios and sizes. In the lower parts of the fold hinge the original CPO is preserved in small grains and SPO has similar orientation to original CPO. During folding CPO and SPO rotated with shear direction in dependance on deformation overprint grade.
Deformation history and decomposition of ternary feldspar in the proto-phase of the Blanský les felsic granulite evolution
Jirků, Markéta ; Jeřábek, Petr (advisor) ; Závada, Prokop (referee)
This diploma thesis deals with the oldest recognized deformation microstructure of felsic granulites of Blanský les (southern Bohemian Massif) in order to understand their lower crustal deformation history later altered during exhumation. Moreover, the study is focused on decomposition of ternary feldspars in the proto-phase of evolution of granulite microstructure. Based on the structural and microstructural analyses of the less developed cleavage I. and the more developed cleavage II., it was possible to distinguish between two deformation structures. The S1 is defined by compositional banding of alternating quartz bands with bands rich in plagioclase, garnets and with porphyroclasts of alkaline feldspars. The S1 cleavage is transposed into the S2 cleavage. During intense reworking of S1 into S2, the quartz bands were decomposed and recrystallized into the ribbons. The feldspar thermometry of the cleavage I. and II. allowed to distinguish the three stages of decomposition of feldspars. A continuous temperature decrease was observed as reflected by the individual microstructures. The quantitative microstructural analysis indicate the shape preferred orientation of the grain boundaries of two-feldspar matrix. The shape preferred orientation of cleavage I. is controlled by the albite rim, however after its...
