Paleofluid Fingerprint as an Independent Paleogeographic Correlation Tool: An Example from Pennsylvanian Sandstones and Neighboring Crystalline Rocks (Tisia Composite Terrane, S Hungary)

Figure 2

Speculative paleogeographic position of the Tisia. (a) Paleogeographic reconstruction for the Early Carboniferous [5]. (b) Position of the Tisia for the Early Jurassic [9]. The present-day outline of the Tisia is the end-result of severe continental E–W extension during the Miocene and equally important Eo-Alpine N–S shortening during the Cretaceous [10]. Thus, a more likely pre-Albian map-view outline of the Tisia should have an isometric shape [9].
