New geological, geochemical and U-Pb SHRIMP zircon age data brought more information about basement units in subsurface of Southern Poland and SE Romania, which allows to revise and refine some earlier models in the framework of the break-up of the Rodinia/Pannotia supercontinent. In the Brno Block, Moravia, and in the Upper Silesia Block, three different terranes formed the composite Brunovistulia Terrane. The Thaya Terrane (low eNd(T)) of Gondwana (Amazonia) descent collided obliquely at 640–620 Ma with the Slavkov Terrane (moderate eNd(T)) composed of amphibolite facies metasediments and arc-related, mostly unfoliated granitoids which intruded at 580–560 Ma. At that time, back-arc rifting separated the couple Thaya–Slavkov (inherited zircons: 1.01–1.2, 1.4–1.5, 1.65–1.8 Ga) that drifted away from Gondwana until collision around 560–550 Ma with the Rzeszotary Terrane, the Palaeoproterozoic (2.7–2.0 Ga) crustal sliver derived from Amazonia or West Africa. At least these three units composed Brunovistulia, which occurred at low latitudes in proximity to Baltica as shown by palaeomagnetic and palaeobiogeographic data. Then Brunovistulia was accreted to the thinned passive margin of Baltica around its Małopolska promontory/proximal terrane. A complex foreland flysch basin developed in front of the Slavkov–Rzeszotary suture and across the Rzeszotary–Baltica/Małopolska border. The further from the suture the less amount of the 640–550 Ma detrital zircons extracted from the Thaya–Slavkov hinterland and the smaller eNd(T) values. In West Małopolska, the flysch contains mainly Neoproterozoic zircons (720–550 Ma), whereas in East Małopolska 1.8–2.1 Ga and 2.5 Ga zircons dominate, which resembles nearby Baltica. The basin infill was multiphase folded and sheared; in Up per Silesia prior to deposition of the pre-Holmia Cambrian over step. In Małopolska, the folded flysch series formed a large-scale antiformal stack with thermal anticline in its core marked by low-grade metamorphic overprint. In Central Dobrogea, Moesia, Ediacaran flysch also contains mainly 700–575 Ma detrital zircons which link the source area, likely in South Dobrogea with ca. 560 Ma granitoids, rather close with Gondwana. However, fauna in Lower Cambrian overstep strata shows Baltican affinity. Such features resemble Upper Silesia, thus Brunovistulia might have extended beneath the Carpathians down to Moesia. The other part of South Dobrogea with Palaeoproterozoic ironstones resembles Ukrainian banded iron formation. If true, the Baltican sliver would be incorporated in Moesia. Such a possibility concurs with the provenance data from Ediacaran flysch of Central Dobrogea, which points to uplifted continental block as a source of derital material. Our study supports an earlier proposition that at the end of the Neoproterozoic a group of small terranes that included Brunovistulia, Moesia and Małopolska formed the Teisseyre-Tornquist Terrane As semblage (TTA). In our model, a characterisistic feature of the TTA was a mixture of crustal elements that were derived from both Gondwana and Baltica, which gave rise to mutual collisions of the elements prior to and concurrent with the docking to Baltica in latest Ediacaran times. The presence of extensive younger covers and complex Phanerozoic evolution of individual members of the TTA impede the recognition of their Neoproterozoic history.

A granodiorite from bore hole WB-102A in the Dol ina Będkowska, the Małopolska Block (MB), South ern Po land, yielded a mean U-Pb zir con age of 300 š3 Ma with SHRIMP II. No in her ited older com po nent was de tected. Geo chemically, it is a K-rich, I-type, calc-al ka line granodiorite with su pra-subduction char ac ter is tics (neg a tive Nb and Ti anom a lies). Silicic ig ne ous rocks are abun dant at the MB mar gin along the Kraków-Lubliniec Fault Zone (KLFZ) across which it ad joins to the Up per Silesian Block (USB) where such rocks are scarce. Both blocks be long to the Variscan fore land. Gra nitic rocks can not, how ever, gen er ate at fore land set tings. Thus, the hy poth e sis is put for ward that the par ent melt for the silicic rocks was de rived from the thick ened lower crust of the Variscan orogenic belt ow ing to extensional de com pres sion melt ing, and trans ported away to wards pul-apart open ings de vel oped along the crustal-scale fault zone (KLFZ) that un der went a com plex strike-slip his tory around the Car bon if er ous/Perm ian bound ary.

The single-grain U-Pb dating of most zircon grains separated from the Zalas rhyodacites gave mean age of the magma emplacement 294.2 š 2.1 Ma. Some zircons, however, displayed younger ages (268.7š 3.4 Ma), probably related to metasomatic alterations of these rocks. The paleomagnetic ages of the Zalas intrusion and its metasomatosis are slightly younger. It is probably connected with a certain error of time calibration of the reference apparent polar wander path used for paleomagnetic dating.
