Abstract

Recently, an outcrop with clear evidence for Quaternary faulting has been discovered in the eastern part of Bohemian Massif, 25 km southwest of Brno (Moravia, Czech Republic). Basement serpentinite, fluvial gravels, loess and young scree are affected by a steep NNW–SSE trending fault. The geological situation of the outcrop is described for the first time in this article.
