Drobne uskoki przesuwcze oraz towarzyszące im struktury niższego rzędu — przykład z kamieniołomu w Lesznej Górnej, jednostka cieszyńska (Karpaty zewnętrzne)
Abstract
Small-scale strike-slip faults and accompanying secondary structures — a case study from the quarry in Leszna Górna, Cieszyn Unit (Outer Carpathians).
S u m m a r y. The paper focuses on the analysis of small-scale strike-slip faults and second-order fractures in flat-lying Cieszyn Limestones of a quarry in Leszna Górna. In the western part of the Polish segment of the Outer Carpathians, the Silesian Nappe consists of two tectonic units: Cieszyn Unit and Godula Unit. The study area is located within the Cieszyn Unit. Several different kinds of tectonic structures have been distinguished, including mesoscale strike-slip faults, en echelon arrays, tip structures and linking structures. The investigations, including geometric and genetic analysis of strike-slip faults and fractures, have enabled reconstruction of structural evolution stages. Two evolutionary models are proposed in terms of the geometries of damage zones for small displacement strike-slip fault zones.
