| Description | Deep structure of the Bohemian Massif was studied in the frame of the international seismic refraction experiment CELEBRATION 2000. The data were interpreted by seismic tomographic inversion and by 2-D trial-and-error forward modelling. The Moldanubian Zone is characterized by a strong velocity contrast at the crust-mantle boundary. Moho reaches the depth of 39 km and is the deepest and the most pronounced within the whole Bohemian Massif. In the Saxothuringian Zone a highly reflective lower crustal layer above Moho was found with a strong velocity contrast at the top of this layer. This reflective laminated lower crust reaches the depth of 26-35 km and is characteristic for the Saxothuringian Zone. |
