Abstract

In the late Neogene, the Pannonian Basin in Central Europe was filled with sediments when rivers from the Alps and Carpathians shed their sediment load into Lake Pannon. The most powerful source-to-sink system was that of the paleo-Danube, transporting sediments from the NW as far as the southeastern part of the lake. In the southeastern margin of the basin, however, local sedimentary systems worked in the opposite direction, against the “tide” of the prevailing N to S sediment transport. The lifetime and advance rate of these systems were unknown. We investigated such a sedimentary system in SE Banat, SE tip of the Pannonian Basin that transported material from the westernmost Southern Carpathians towards the basin center in the NW. Following the flooding of the Southern Carpathian foothills by Lake Pannon 9.6–9.1 My ago, a shelf was built from the Southern Carpathians into the 300–500 m deep water of the adjacent local depression. The advance of the shelf-edge reached the surroundings of Vršac Island some 20–25 km to the NW about 7.5–7.0 My ago, when a small-scale transgressive–regressive cycle formed on the flanks of the Vršac Mts: coarse-grained deposits derived from local sources during the initial flooding and the overlying offshore marls representing the maximum flooding are capped by the regressive deltaic succession advancing from the Southern Carpathians. The average shelf-edge progradation rate (ca. 10 km /My) was, thus, almost an order of magnitude smaller than the progradation rate of the coeval paleo-Danube shelf on the opposite, northwestern side of the lake.
