Abstract

The geology of the contact area of West Carpathians with burried parts of the Bohemian Massif sedimentary cover is very complicated. The successive plunging of the Bohemian Massif sediments under the nappes of the West Carpathians reaching the depth of 10 km is the most important feature here. These plunging sediments are interrupted by transverse, tectonically predisposed depresions. The deepest and from the hydrocarbons prospection Weivpoint, the most promissing depression is the Nesvacilka Graben, With the main axis connecting Brno witti Hodonin. The basal Devonian sediments (Old Red facies) , the Devonian - Lower Carboniferous carbonates, the Lower Carboniferous flysch sediments ( kulm ), the Upper Carbon -iferous coal - bearing rocks, Jurassic basal sediments and Jurassic pelites and carbonates are present in this depresion Its sedimentary filling is mostly composed of Paleogene deep - water pelites, but the psefitic near - shore facies are also documented here.
