Tectonic Problems in the Western Part of Padurea Craiului Massif (Apuseni Mountains) (in Romanian)

Abstract

Tectonic Problems in the Western Part of Pădurea Craiului Massif (Apuseni Mts.). Pădurea Craiului Massif belongs to Bihor Unit. The Codru Nappe System overthrusts its South-Western margin. The structures generated in the nappes front, such as folds, faults, fisures, cleavages, suggest a movement direction from South-West toward North-East. This direction differs with 90° relative to transport direction of Biharia Nappe System. The mentioned structures represent a prove for origin of Codru Nappe System from the Meliatic margin of Preapulian Craton
