Fig. 12.41. a Pannonian basin system within the Alpine belts of central-eastem Europe, Hatched areas
indicate smaller basins with Neogene to Quatemary
sediment thicknesses ~ 3000 m. DA Danube basin; Z

b.; TS Transsylvanian b.; M Mako, and B Bekes depressions; GHP Great Hungarian Plain; HCM Hungarian Central Mountains; P.AL Peri-Adriatic Line.
b,c Simplified plan view and cross section of Vienna
pull-apart basin. (In reality the structure and sedimentary fill of the basin is more complex; Wessely
1988.) d Migration towards to the fore land and
steepening of East Carpathian subduction zone
causes extension of Pannonian plate fragment and
formation of a number of small basins. e Simplified
scheme demonstrating migration of specific zones of
subsidence and basin fill away from thrust belt.
e Idealized succession of sedimentary facies in special basins of the Pannonian system. (After Royden
et al. 1982; Mattick et al. 1988; Royden 1988)
