DOES THE EAST EUROPEAN BRANCH OF THE CALEDONIDES EXIST?
Journal Title: Biuletyn Państwowego Instytutu Geologicznego - Year 2012, Vol 449, Issue 449
Abstract
Since the beginning of the introduction of the concept of the East European branch of the Caledonides by Limanowski (1922), there has been much discussion on the trend of this branch towards the southwest of the East European craton. The extreme interpretations were given by Stille (1950), and later by Dadlez (1994). According to those authors, the East European branch of the Caledonides could trend along the entire course of the south-eastern boundary of the East European craton, from the western Baltic Sea to Ukraine. Analysis of existing geological data, in relation to the current geotectonic theories, puts in doubt the existence of this branch. The proved Caledonian structures, which could be considered as orogenic, are located exclusively in the West Pomeranian segment of the East European craton foreland. The other parts of the foreland should be considered either a lowered marginal edge of the craton or blocks of Avalonian origin.
