Abstract

On the geology of the Świerkule range in the Tatra Mountains

The Świerkule Unit occurring within the Tatra Mts. on the line of contact between the hight-tatric and sub-tatric series is here shown to be a fold element distorted by disjunctive tectonic movements. Its stratigraphy, similar to that of the parautochtonic series, bars its association with any thus far known high-tatric folds within the Tatra Mts (Czerwone Wierohy and Giewont). Hence it must be assigned an individual position, constituting a palaeogeographic and tectonic transition from the parautochtonic series to those belonging to the fold units.
