Schematic simplified evolution and geological setting of the study area: (a) extension—Early Alpine rifting with opening of Piemont Ocean in the Lower Jurassic; (b) compression—Accretionary wedge development due to microplates collision from Upper Cretaceous to Paleogene; (c) simplified geological map of the Outer Western Carpathians and the European basement, and (d) detailed geological setting with highlighted areas of interest ([63], simplified).
