| Abstract: | The paper reviews paleomagnetic data from the Central West Carpathians (CWC) of Poland and Slovakia. The CWC constitute an orogen deformed by pre-Tertiary and Tertiary events, situated on the internal side of the Pieniny Klippen Belt and the Tertiary Outer West Carpathian accretionary wedge. The CWC are regarded as the eastern prolongation of the Austroalpine series. There are paleomagnetic evidences for a counterclockwise rotation of the CWC after Oligocene. Having subtracted the effect of this rotation, Middle Cretaceous paleomagnetic poles from the CWC are brought into agreement with preGosau paleopoles from the Upper Austroalpine units of the Northern Calcareous Alps (NCA). It is inferred that a common clockwise rotation of the CWC and NCA had taken place between 90-60 Ma (Middle — Late Cretaceous) during the oblique convergence of the Austroalpine/Central Carpathian realm with the Penninic continental basement. |
