摘要：Point1:Werelongitudinalfaultsreactivated?Theau-thor mentioned (p. 417): “During folding, a reversesenseofthedip-slipcomponentpredominatedonthelon-gitudinal faults (e.g. Czarnocki 1957b; KowalczewskiandRubinowski1962;Filonowicz1970,1973)[...]Onthesurfacesofthesteeply-dippingbeds,inadditiontotheolderdip-slipcomponentresultingfromtheflexuralslipmechanism(Text-fig.4,area1),evidenceforayoungerstrike-slip component can also be seen (e.g.Text-fig. 4,area 2)”.The author has not clearly demonstrated that agenetic relationship exists between the dip-slip reversemovement on the bedding plane and the main fault. Inparticular,thestructuralpositionofthebedillustratedinText-fig. 4 is not precisely related to the main fault.Consequently, the strike-slip striation on the beddingplane does not necessarily mean that the main fault wasalso reactivated. In several studies, Lamarche et al.(1999, 2000, 2002, 2003) have shown that the wholeHoly Cross Mountains (HCM) and adjacent areas havebeen affected by numerous Late Cretaceous/Paleocenestrike-slip faults, which reactivated Late Variscan frac-tures (Lamarche 1999). Therefore, we question the ageofthestrike-slipreactivationonthebeddingplaneshownby A. Konon. Our alternative explanation is that thestrike-slip displacement results from the overall LateCretaceous/Paleocenestress,andnotfromLatePalaeo-zoic reactivation of the larger faults.
