Abstract:The West Bohemian shear zone (WBSZ) forms a steep collapse structure along which east-side-down normal movements led to the juxtaposition of the relatively cold Cadomian basement of the Tepla-Barrandian unit against high grade Moldanubian rocks. Synkinematic plutons straddle the WBSZ. The Mut3nin pluton intruded into Moldanubian crust at a depth of 23dž km as derived by using Al-in-hornblende barometry. The Tepla-Barrandian Babylon pluton intruded at <12 km depth as indicated by phengite barometry and petrogenetic considerations. Both emplacement depths, together with mineral cooling ages, result in a minimum vertical displacement of 10 km between 340 and 320 Ma. This large throw could be explained by over-thickened crust that was weakened from below. The alkaline signature of the Mut3nin diorite indicates that mantle melting was important to thermally weaken the crust at 340 Ma. The cold Tepla-Barrandian upper crust sank into its weak, partly molten Moldanubian substratum, resulting in elevator-style movements, not only along the WBSZ, but also along the Hoher Bogen and Central Bohemian shear zone. All these ductile normal shear zones were active simultaneously during the Lower Carboniferous and dip steeply towards the Tepla-Barrandian unit that probably formed a highly elevated plateau at this time.
