The Pieniny Klippen Belt represents a 600-km-long but only a few kilometers wide suture zone in the Carpathian orogenic belt. Based on a quantitative analysis along a part of its NW-trending segment in northeastern Slovakia, we present structural data supporting transpression, the continuous interaction of strike-slip shearing, horizontal shortening, and vertical lengthening, as a major deformation style in its polyphase deformation history. Dextral transpression is expressed in the map scale and outcrop fault pattern, the oblique orientation of fold axes to the faults bounding the Klippen Belt, and extension parallel to the fold axes. The transpression-related strain field is described and quantified by the analysis of: (1) orientation of rotated fold axes (displaying an acute angle to the margins of the Klippen Belt); (2) orientation and geometry of paleostress derived from mesoscale fault-striae analysis (E-trend of σ3-trajectories and flattening geometry); and (3) the deformation history indicated by extension veins (non-coaxial regime). Different techniques using fault-striae data quantify paleostress and subdivide heterogeneous data sets mathematically into homogeneous subsets. The observed deformation history is modelled as a homogeneous transpression deformation. The best-fitting model requires a NW-trending (present-day orientation) external contraction direction (e.g., plate-slip vector), and predicts 16% fold axes parallel extension and 23% axial plane normal shortening. | en |
