Giersdorf_00000876The study area lies in the NE Bavarian crystalline basement close to the Czech-German border and covers part of the Moldanubian Zone at the western edge of the Bohemian Massif. Precambrian paragneisses were deformed during the Variscan orogeny and subsequently intruded by acidic igneous rocks of late Carboniferous age. Following these granitic intrusions, acidic differentiates, including aplites and pegmatites very different in their mineral compositions, evolved. Some are significantly enriched in Nb oxides and Li-Mn phosphates. After the Variscan orogeny, the NE Bavarian Basement was subjected to a strong uplift. In the basement proper, clastic sediments and relics of the Cenozoic regolith were locally preserved on a low-relief landscape. These relict landforms date back to the late Mesozoican and the early Cenozoic when subtropical climates occurred in what is today called the "Oberpfaelzer Wald." By the end of the glacial period, present-day fluvial drainage systems cut into the basement rocks and transported the debris of the older regolith and of lithoclasts eroded during the glacial period.
