Project deals with identification of riftogenic zones in the area of the Western Carpathians and the neighbouring areas. It includes a longer time period from Late Proterozoic (at ca. 550 Ma) up to Mesozoic-Cenozoic boundary (at ca. 60 Ma), when riftogenesis continued with the opening of the main Tethyan oceans on the Earth. These preliminarily determined riftogenic zones will be investigated from the viewpoint of a long-term periodicity, intensity of magmatism, metamorphism and chemical elements mobility (recycling) between the crustal and mantle rocks: Late Proterozoic – Cambrian, Devonian, Permian – Triassic and Jurassic – Cretaceous. Specific groups of rocks and their minerals will be searched as indicators of the riftogenic zones, despite they often have signatures of superimposed tectono-thermal overprinting from their incorporation into the orogenic zones. Mineralogicalpetrological (EPMA, micro-Raman, LA-ICP-MS, XRF, ICP-MS), isotopic-geochemical (LA-MC-ICP-MS, TIMS) and
geochronological (U-Pb SIMS, LA-ICP-MS, Ar-Ar, K-Ar) methods will be applied to establish the chemical composition of minerals and rocks, their isotopic characteristics (U-Pb, Pb-Pb, Sm-Nd, Rb-Sr, Zr-Hf, Re-Os) and the ages. Geothermobarometry and thermodynamic modeling with Melts, Perple_X and Thermocalc software will be used for estimation of P-T conditions of the crustal and mantle rocks mineral parageneses formation. This database can reveal the rocks origin and their magmatic and metamorphic evolution stages. We will suggest
interpretation models addressed to paleotectonic zones of riftogenesis defined with typical rock associations and their mineralogical-petrological, geochemical and geochronological characteristics. Classification of riftogenic zones and their relationship to the opening of the Tethyan oceans will be confronted with published hypothetical models of riftogenesis as the domains of crust-mantle interaction and recycling, often with a significant economic potential.
