Abstract

The paper presents two profiles within zones of compression of two deep-seated translational landslides in the Silesian Nappe. Holocene folds of the "1B" class, zones of decollement, nappe-like structure of thrust shale over buried fluvial deposits and palaeosoils are documented. It is evidenced by means of radiocarbon dating that the failure progression is towards the foreground (two distinct phases of motion at 8,010 ± 105 14C BP and 6,700 ± 125 14C BP). The structure of the entire slope failure was studied by means of Ground Penetrating Radar.
