| Description | The article informs about results of orientation analysis of fractures (joints and faults) carried out in the region south of Skalka (near Prostějov). This region is situated on the E margin of the Bohemian Massif near the Kvasice Fault. Fractures were studied mostly at the sites of the Culm sediments, the set of ten steep joints were found also at one site of the Miocene clastics. In the Culm sediments, several sets of steep to subvertical fractures (mostly joints) were distinguished, at some sites also gently to moderately dipping fractures were found. Some of planes were tectonized. At the site SP09A (in the quarry north of Pivín) the relatively significant steep NNW-SSE strike-slip fault was observed, which is probably part of fault structure limiting the eastern margin of uplifted block of the Culm rocks south of Skalka. |
