Significant geological localities of the èierna Hora veporic unit

Basic information about outstanding geological localities of the èierna Hora Mts. (i.e. the Veporic domain of the Central Western Carpathians) are presented in this contribution. At the first locality, nearby Margecany village, the Margecany shear zone, i.e. the tectonic contact of the Gemeric and Veporic unit, is observable. At the second one, situated northwards from the Ko ické Hámre bridge, a nearly complete cross-section of cover formations of the èierna hora basement is outcropped. Infolding of cover stratas into basement metamorphites and sucessive imbrication of both mentioned formations are instructively developed at the third locality, the Ru ín dam area.
