Cenozoic palaeogeography and basin evolution of the Western Carpathians, Norther Pannonian and adjoining areas - Part Paleogene

The data about the Cenozoic basin evolution, palaeogeography and geodynamics of the Western Carpathian and Northern Pannonian domains are summarized, re-evaluated, supplemented and newly interpreted. Regarding the position with respect to the structural axis of theorogen, the synorogenicPaleogene basins are included in two basicgroups - theforward and backward basin systems. The forward system comprises oceaic zones consumed in front of the prograing orogenic wedge with offscraped sediments accreted to its tip, as well as marginal wedge-top depressions and the large-scale fore-arc basin developed on the upper plate. The retrowedge-related backward system embraces short-living wrench zone furrows and the large retro-arc basin. The Paleogene development of the external Carpathian zone reflects gradual subduction of several oceanic realms and growth of the orogenic accretionary wedge,
