| Description | The ecologically homogenous deep water associations of otoliths in the NW tip of the Vienna Basin links up bathymetrically with nearly adequate otoliths assemblages in the southernmost Moravian part of the foredeep. Geological analyses proved inversion processes of recurrent nature along old faults of the NW-SE direction in the Dyje Depression. In the early Badenian the Mikulov Gate resulted from the sagging block of the Waschberg Zone. This marine channel was relatively deep (>200m, as indicated by otoliths) and in all probability flooded an entire front of the nappes in this area. |
