Pre-Cainozoic tectonics of the southern Baltic Sea
Tectonics of the western part of the Polish Baltic sector resulted from several stages of deformations. The Caledonian folding front being in the Polish territory connected with the Teisseyre-Tornquist Zone (TTZ) separates from it at the Baltic coast, running toward WNW. The Teisseyre-Tornquist Zone...
