Sulfuric acid speleogenesis and surface landform evolution along the Vienna Basin Transfer Fault: Plavecký Karst, Slovakia

چکیده
Hypogene caves in the Plavecký hradný vrch Hill (Western Slovakia, Central Europe) were formed by waters ascending along faults fractured Triassic carbonates related to horst-graben structure at contact of Malé Karpaty Mountains and NE part Vienna Basin. The Plavecká jaskyňa Pec mostly contain horizontal passages chambers with flat corrosion bedrock floors, fissure discharge feeders, wall water-table notches, replacement pockets, as well a few other speleogens associated sulfuric acid speleogenesis. low-temperature development phases Jaskyňa are also indicated presence sulfate minerals (i.e., gypsum jarosite).Subaerial calcite popcorn rims precipitated from water condensation edges feeding fissures that still active thermal vents when table dropped. Hydrogen sulfide involved speleogenesis was likely derived anhydrites and/or hydrocarbon reservoirs sulfate-saline connate fill adjacent It ascended surface deep-rooted sub-vertical fault zones Basin neighboring mountains.

Strike-slip tectonics and Quaternary basin formation along the Vienna Basin fault system inferred from Bouguer gravity derivatives
[1] The Vienna Basin at the transition between the Alpine and Carpathian belt hosts a number of large Pleistocene sub-basins forming along an active continental scale strike-slip fault (Vienna Basin strike-slip fault). We utilize first-order derivatives from industrial Bouguer gravity data to unravel the impacts of Pleistocene kinematics on the Vienna Basin and to compensate for the lack of nea...
متن کاملMicrobial contributions to cave formation: New insights into sulfuric acid speleogenesis
The sulfuric acid speleogenesis (SAS) model was introduced in the early 1970s from observations of Lower Kane Cave, Wyoming, and was proposed as a cave-enlargement process due to primarily H2S autoxidation to sulfuric acid and subaerial replacement of carbonate by gypsum. Here we present a reexamination of the SAS type locality in which we make use of uniquely applied geochemical and microbiolo...

Chemistry of detrital garnets, chrome spinels and tourmalines of 30 selected samples in combination with the general heavy mineral distribution from 523 sandstone samples of the Upper Cretaceous to Eocene Gosau Group of the eastern part of the Eastern Alps and the western West Carpathians result in an advanced picture of sedimentary provenance and palaeogeographic evolution of that area. Garnet...
