Deformation and Exhumation of Magmatic and Metamorphic Rocks of the Pohorje-Kozjak Mts. (Slovenia): Constraints from Structural Geology, Geochronology

From: Geolines | Date: January 1, 2004| Author: | Copyright information

The Pohorje-Kozjak Mts., NE Slovenia are built of several Cretaceous nappes, consisting from bottom to top of medium-grade metamorphic rocks, slightly metamorphosed early Paleozoic rocks (Magdalensberg series), and Permo-Mesozoic sediments. These rocks are covered by late Early Miocene (18-16Ma) clastic sediments deposited in the rifting western Pannonian Basin. Pre-Tertiary rocks were intruded by granodiorite (tonalite), related pegmatite, aplite and lamprophyre dykes and subvolcanic dacite bodies and dykes (Marion et al. 2002).

Eoalpine subduction and nappe stacking resulted in very high ...
