Abstract

Despite a relatively small areal extent of the Upper Cretaceous sediments (Horné Belice Group) in the Považský Inovec Mts. their importance for the geodynamic interpretation is significant. The composition, structural position and geodynamic setting of the sedimentary sequence is the object of the open discussion. Authors answers to previous comments (Plašienka et al., this issue) are expressed in the text below.

Key words: Western Carpathians, Upper Cretaceous, Považský Inovec Mts., Tatricum, Horné Belice Group
