Description:

A brittle tectonic study has been carried out in the crystalline limestone and granite quarries near Vápenná village in the Rychlebské hory Mts. in the NE part of the Bohemian Massif. The quarries are situated along the Sudetic Marginal fault zone - the most important tectonic structure of the area. At the lo cality, the Sudetic Marginal fault separates Devonian crystalline limestones of the Branná group and Paleozoic granites of the Žulová pluton. Hundreds of measurements of joints and small-scale faults were taken in three limestone quarries on the west side of the fault. Kinematic indicators were observed as well. Equivalent measurements and observations have been performed on the fault east side in several small granite quarries. In the limestones three sets of fault have been identified (the W-E subvertical, the Sudetic NW-SE falling 45° to NE and the N-S falling 75° to W). The W-E direction of faults is the most importa nt direction there. There are two sets of faults in the granites (the subvertical Moravo-Silesian NE-SW and the Sudetic NW-SE). The NE-SW direc tion is dominant. There are almost none subhorizontal faults in the studied area., Lucie Nováková., and Obsahuje bibliografické odkazy
