Exhumation of mid-crustal rocks by a brittle-ductile unroofing mechanism, an example from the Veporic crystalline complex in the West Carpathians

Study of the structural and metamorphic record of the eastern part of contact zone within Vepor and Gemer units in Central West Carpathians has interpreted the burial and exhumation in the evolution of alpine orogeny. The studied area is built by granitoid rocks of Vepor basement and metapelites of cover sequences both Vepor and Gemer units. Three structural fabrics have been identified in the area, which are correlated with so far described deformation stages. Higher metamorphosed rocks with presence of two generation garnets were found out within lower metamorphosed metapelites of cover sequences. From the garnet - biotite thermometry the metamorphic conditions for the rims were established to 550-580řC. Whereas muscovite and in some case chlorite, are the only metamorphic phases in neighbouring cover rocks. Three generations of white micas are documented within structural fabrics. The oldest muscovites, magmatic in origin (Ms1), younger phengites (Phg) present in fabrics S1 and youngest muscovites (Ms2) present in fabric S2. The study of quartz microstructures distinguished aggregates and from aggregates coming band microstructures. These are mostly found in deformed granitoids, sometimes also in cover quartzites and can have sigma-shape geometry. The aggregate microstructure, representing S1...
