Two-Dimmensional Model of Burial and Thermal History of the Czech Upper Silesian Basin

P606 TWO-DIMMENSIONAL MODEL OF BURIAL AND THERMAL HISTORY OF THE CZECH UPPER SILESIAN BASIN JURAJ FRANCU Summary 1 The evolution of the Variscan foreland basins below the West Carpathian overthrust and foredeep is simulated using a two-dimmensional model of burial erosional and thermal history. The principle question is which tectono-sedimentary units were exposed to thermal stress as a continuous pile and which were thrust over other units as allochthonous bodies uplifted from another places of burial. Analysis of coalification gradients provides a quantitative basis for calibration of the interplay between palaeo-heat flow and maximum burial depth. The trends of coalification
