The Pieniny Klippen Belt (PKB) is a narrow structure delineating the boundary between the Central and Outer Carpathians. It is built of nappes stacked during the Cretaceous and Paleocene and then re-folded in the Miocene during the formation of the Outer Carpathian overthrusts. The internal structure of the PKB at the Polish/Slovakian border first formed during northward nappe thrusting processes, which were most intense at the turn of the Cretaceous to the Paleocene. A secondary factor is the change in strike of the PKB turning from W–E to WNW–ESE, associated with dextral strike-slip faulting in the Carpathian basement (North-European Platform). These NNW-SSE oriented strike-slip fault zones, broadly parallel to the Teisseyre-Tornquist Zone, are responsible for the segmentation of the down-going plate, which influenced the subduction and collision between the North-European Platform and the Central Carpathian Block. Among them, the most important role was played by the Kraków—Myszków Fault Zone separating the Małopolska and Upper Silesian blocks in the Carpathian foreland. Shifts and interactions between the neighboring Pieniny and Outer Carpathian basins—during contemporaneous sedimentation and deformation—resulted in a difficult-to-define, transitional zone. Until now this zone had the rank of a tectonic unit, named “Grajcarek Unit” in Poland and “Šariš Unit” in the Slovak Republic. However, its northern boundary, often taken to represent the Central/Outer Carpathians boundary, is ambiguous. These problems are due to the spatial overlap of thrusting and gravitational flows resulting in chaotic breccias, olistoliths and olistostrome formation, which formed repeatedly and became deformed during the Maastrichtian to Early Miocene. Tectonic deformations in this area gradually vanished towards the north. This zone can therefore be defined as the Peri-Klippen part of the Magura Nappe that lacks a distinct northern tectonic limit. For this reason it is named Šariš Transitional Zone (ŠTZ).

Šariš过渡带，揭示了Pieniny Klippen地带，喀尔巴阡山脉外部地区与欧洲平台之间的相互作用

Pieniny Klippen带（PKB）是一个狭窄的结构，描绘了中喀尔巴阡山脉与外喀尔巴阡山脉之间的边界。它由在白垩纪和古新世期间堆积的尿布建造，然后在喀尔巴阡山脉外覆层形成期间在中新世重新折叠。波兰/斯洛伐克边界的PKB内部结构最初是在向北推覆推挤过程中形成的，这在白垩纪向古新世的转变中最为强烈。第二个因素是PKB的走向从WE转变为WNW-ESE，这与喀尔巴阡基底（北欧平台）的右旋走滑断层有关。这些NNW-SSE导向的走滑断层带大致平行于Teisseyre-Tornquist区，负责下盘的分段，这影响了北欧平台与喀尔巴阡山脉中部地块之间的俯冲和碰撞。其中，最重要的作用是喀尔巴阡前陆中的克拉科夫—米什科夫断层带分隔了马沃波尔斯卡和西里西亚上块。相邻的佩尼尼盆地和喀尔巴阡山脉外盆地之间的变化和相互作用（在同时期的沉积和变形过程中）导致了难以定义的过渡带。到现在为止，该区域一直属于构造单位，在波兰称为“ Grajcarek单位”，在斯洛伐克共和国称为“Šariš单位”。但是，其北部边界（通常用来代表喀尔巴阡山脉中部/外部边界）是不明确的。这些问题是由于推力和重力流在空间上重叠造成的，导致角砾岩角砾岩，橄榄石和卵母骨膜形成，在马斯特里赫特至中新世早期反复形成并变形。该地区的构造变形逐渐向北消失。因此，可以将该区域定义为缺乏明显的北部构造界限的玛古拉纳皮的外围-克里彭部分。因此，它被称为Šariš过渡区（ŠTZ）。
