Description
The paper provides an overview of the main Alpine and earlier Hercynian (Variscan) tectonic units, as well as superimposed Cenozoic “post-nappe stacking” formations. Simplified localization maps of mentioned tectonic units, lithostratigraphic tables with emphasis on typical lithostratigraphic members and models of the assumed paleogeographical positions are included. References have been selected with an intention to provide more detailed information on a particular issue, resp. tectonic unit. Paper follows dual division of principal tectonic zones into the External (EWECA) and Internal Western Carpathians (IWECA), which reflects different rock composition as well as different time and mechanisms of their structuralization
