new structural, metamorphic, finite strain and kinematic vorticity data for granitic gneiss and metavolcano-sedimentary rocks of thetanumaharea in the arabian shield in saudi arabia reveal a history of deformation reflecting different tectonic regimes. kinematic analysis shows their relationship to the nappe contacts between the granitic gneiss and metavolcano-sedimentary rocks and explains the...

Pre-Mesozoic exotic crystalline blocks within the Outer Carpathian flysch have potential to unravel nature of their eroded basement source(s) and reconstruct Paleozoic–Precambrian history Protocarpathians. Strongly tectonized Campanian–Maastrichtian grey marls in Subsilesian Nappe Western Carpathians Poland contain a variety different lithology types, including granitoids andesites. Petrologica...

Deep-seated slope failures are common features in the mountains of the Raca Unit, Magura Nappe of the Flysch Belt of Western Carpathians. Since they represent very complicated system, understanding of their evolution and triggers still remains unclear. We tried to provide a back-analysis of their development by using a finite difference code (FDM) of continua (Flac 4.0). We confirmed that such ...
