Metamorphic Evolution

  • Chapter
Pre-Permian Geology of Central and Eastern Europe

Part of the book series: IGCP-Project 233 ((IGCP 233))

Abstract

When F.E. Suess (1903) divided the eastern part of the Bohemian Massif into the structural deeper Moravian unit and the upper Moldanubian zone, one of his most important criteria was the changing degree of metamorphism between both units: The high-grade metamorphic Moldanubian was thrusted over the low grade Moravicum forming the retrogressive Glimmerschieferzone in between. Later on in 1912, Suess subdivided the Moravian unit into the Thaya window or dome (Dyje dome) in the S and the Schwarzawa window or dome (Svratka dome) in the N (Fig. 1). Both units show a comparable lithology and metamorphism, but with a certain variability. He also realized the decreasing metamorphism in both domes from the outer, structurally higher units to the inner, lower parts. These findings have later been confirmed by other authors, e. g., Preclik (1927, 1937); Frasl (1968, 1970, 1983); Höck (1975, 1983); Höck et al. (1991) for the Thaya dome and Jaros and Mísař (1976); Jaroš (1992); Schulmann et al. (1991); Cháb and Suk (1977) for the Svratka dome.
