Interpretation of Mineralization in the Western Carpathians (Polish Segment)—A Tectonic Mélange Approach

Quartz, carbonates and other minerals as e.g., realgar are present in veins caverns sedimentary rocks the Western Carpathians. In Polish segment, they have been characterized from mineralogical, petrologic, geochemical points of view, well fluid inclusions. Their characters discussed perspective a description particular types chaotic complexes—the tectonic mélange zones, distinguished Carpathian area over last two decades. The zones considered to be systems open flow, site for mineral crystallization and/or migration hydrocarbons mineralized waters. this context Jabłonki/Rabe vicinity (SE Poland, Bieszczady region) comparison that Mszana Dolna window proposed examples. trapping conditions fluids (brine methane) appear 180–205 °C ~550–570 bars, 220 500 bars calcite quartz, respectively. general trend increase temperatures pressures west towards east south-east an degree exhumation different parts
