The Upper Silesian Coal Basin (USCB) represent typical foreland basin located in the toe domain of the Variscan accretion wedge (Grygarand Vavro, 1995, Dopitaet al., 1997, Grygaret al., 2000) of the Moravosilesian area. The Karviná sub-basin represents most eastward transverse structural depression (Grygar et al., 1989) of the USCB. The coal-bearing Karviná formation (continental molasse - Namurian A-B) is cropping out on buried Pre-Alpine basement surface. The structure style in the Karvin...
