Popis: Paper summarizes the latest knowledge about the Early Miocene Trenčianska kotlina and Ilavská kotlina basins, Slovakia. The studied basins are located at the boundary between the Internal and External Western Carpathians and overlie the Pieniny Klippen Belt and Internal Carpathian Mesozoic nappes (Tatricum, Fatricum and Hronicum). This research is based on the results of geological mapping in the northwestern Trenčianska kotlina Basin and westernmost part of the Ilavská kotlina Basin and summarizes all previous (bio)stratigraphic, sedimentological, geophysical and borehole (PB-1, HVJ-25) data. Sedimentary fill of the basins is represented by the transgressive Eggenburgian Čausa Fm and Karpatian Závod Fm. Sedimentary record is fragmentary since the Lower Miocene formations are reduced. Youngest sediments are represented by the Pliocene gravels and Quaternary fluvial and eolian deposits. Both Trenčianska kotlina and Ilavská kotlina basins formerly represented one Early Miocene wedge top basin connected with nearby Vienna Basin, Blatné depression, Bánovská kotlina, Hornonitrianska kotlina, and Turčianska kotlina basins. The present shape of the Trenčianska kotlina and Ilavská kotlina basins is a result of inversion, rotation and backthrusting occurring since the Karpatian-Badenian with additional inversion during Pliocene-Quaternary. There are no strong arguments for interpretation of the pull-apart nature of the basins as it was considered in the past.
