Seismic Evidence for Salt - and Volcanism-Related Tectonics in the Eastern Transylvanian Basin

O6 - 03 REGIONAL GEOPHYSICS & GEOTECTONICS SEISMIC EVIDENCE FOR SALT- AND VOLCANISM- RELATED TECTONICS IN THE EASTERN TRANSYLVANIAN BASIN Alexandru Szakács 1 Csaba Krézsek 2 1 Institute of Geodynamics Romanian Academy Bucharest and Sapientia EMTE University Cluj-Napoca Romania 2 Romgaz Medias Romania and Vrije University Amsterdam The Netherlands Summary The recently obtained seismic data provide a new perspective on development of the Eastern Transylvanian Basin and its relation to salt tectonics and volcanic processes. The Transylvanian Basin is an Upper Cretaceous to Miocene episutural basin developed on the hinterland of the Carpathian fold and thrust belt. Widespread salt deposits
