Abstract
The outer Carpathians constitute an elongated fold-and-thrust belt, largely thrusted north-eastwards over the European and Russia platforms and eastwards to southwards over the Moesian platform and Dobrogean edifice. They stretch from Vienna in the west to the Iron Gate in Romania in the south-east (Fig. 1). The belt can be divided into two segments: an E-W segment in Poland bordered in the south by the Pienniny klippen belt, and a NW-SE to N-S segment in Ukraine and Romania.
