Stratigraphic, sedimentological, geochemical, mineralogical and geochronological data characterizing the Upper Miocene sequence of the Turiec Basin, Western Carpathians (Central Europe)
Résumé
The data included in this article specify the characteristics
of the Upper Miocene fill of the Turiec Basin and served
for reconstruction of temporal evolution of depositional sys
tems in this intermontane basin located within the West
ern Carpathians (Central Europe). The borehole lithological
log data were used to describe the stratigraphy of the Turiec
Basin in geological sections and were gained in the Geo
fond archive of the State Geological Institute of Dionýz Štúr.
The sedimentological data were acquired by field research
applying facies analysis to nine outcrop sites. The outcrops
served for grain size analyzes performed by sieving and laser diffraction, for geochemical analyzes using ICP-ES, ICP-MS
and XRF, and for mineralogical analyzes of whole rock and
clay fraction by XRD. Moreover, the muddy layers on outcrops served for collection of 31 samples for the authigenic
10Be/9Be dating. The geochronological data are presented by
using five different initial ratios for calculation, determined
within the Turiec Basin at the Late Pleistocene alluvial fan
and river terrace sites as well as at two Holocene muddy
floodplain sites. Another initial ratio data are gained from an
Upper Miocene lacustrine succession dated independently
by magnetostratigraphy in previous research. Finally, a
summary of previously published strontium isotope data
from the Turiec Basin is included. The interpretations of the
data are provided in Šujan et al., (2023) Palaeogeography,
Palaeoclimatology, Palaeoecology 628, 111746.
