49 localities situated in preserved parts of the tectonic unit Hronicum were examined. The obtained data on the occurrence of brachiopods, bivalve molluscs, cephalopods, conodonts, holoturias and foraminifers in the sediments of the Upper Pelsonian – Illyrian (Jasenie, Schreyeralm, Gader, Ráztoka and unnamed crinoidal limestone) were projected into the paleogeographic scheme of the Hronicum. In the period after the disintegration of the Gutenstein platform, the Hronicum area was divided into a number of differentially synsedimentary subsiding parts. The submerged parts were the sedimentation space of the mentioned types of limestones. Non-submerged parts – carbonate platforms were a source of organodetritus for subsiding areas and a sedimentation area for the Gader Limestone.

We present seismological and geological interpretations of the weak earthquake that occurred on April 6th, 2022 with epicenter between Šalková (suburb of Banská Bystrica) and Slovenská Ľupča. The local magnitude of the event was ML = 2.1. The earthquake was macroseismically observed in 21 localities (101 reports) on the territory of Slovakia with epicentral intensity 4° EMS-98. The estimated focal mechanism indicates a normal fault in approximately E-W direction. This favours the theory of an extension regime in the Čertovica tectonic zone.

The paper follows on a review articles on Slovak travertines and tufa published in English in 2021. Geomorphological terms such as ‘fissure ridge’, ‘coalesced mound’, ‘self-buiding channel’, ‘keeled waterfall’, ‘smooth slope’, ‘terrased slope’, ‘dams along stream’, ‘peached springline deposits’, ‘moss pillow’ were defined as new in Slovak terminology. Travertine forms are formed by defined facies: ‘crystalline crusts’ with different crystal types, ‘radiating dendrites’, ‘coated bubbles’, ‘rafts’, and ‘breccias’ of various origin. Biogenic facies such as ‘microphyte mats’, ‘microphyte crusts’, ‘microphyte shrubs’, and ‘macrophyte facies’ appear in various tufas and travertines. In lakes, fens and marshes, the ‘lime-mudstones’ and the terms ‘mottling (marmorisation)’ and ‘pseudomikcokarst’ were defined. ‘Travertinized tufa’ was established as a transitional form between travertine and tufa.

In 2010, extensive slope deformations were activated in Nižná Myšľa Village, which affected a large part of the village. Due to the extent of the affected area, the severity of the manifestations and especially the catastrophic consequences they caused in the built-up area of the village, the slope failures in Nižná Myšľa were evaluated as the second most destructive landslide event in the documented history of Slovakia. Almost immediately after the devasting event, a detailed engineering geological survey followed, which provided information on the extension, nature of slope deformations and became the basis for the design of the monitoring system. Monitoring activities have been ongoing since 2011 and continue to the present. By gradual upgrade of the monitoring objects network for monitoring subsurface deformations and for groundwater regime observations, a large data set was obtained over a longer period of time. Thanks to this, the Nižná Myšľa landslide area is one of the Slovak sites where the largest network of monitoring objects is built. At the same time by monitoring, the main activity took place – remediation of the geological environment in three successive stages. The aim of this work is to provide a comprehensive overview of the implemented remediation measures, an overview of dataset obtained from monitoring of slope deformations and selected environmental components, but mainly on the basis of these data, comprehensive evaluation of monitoring data obtained by monitoring and evaluation of the development of measured parameters with technical remediation measures. From the regularly repeated analysis of the parameters as well as from the evaluations results, the most significant results for the whole period of the site monitoring are the results of inclinometric measurements of total deformations and their increments for individual phases of measurement. The area is characterized by ongoing large-scale landslide activity, especially in the southern part of the village, which was also the most affected in 2010 and represents part of the central part of Nižná Myšľa, along with the northern part on the landslide from Staničná ulica Street, including the Elementary school area up to Hlavná ulica Street. In particular, remediation works during the first, second and third stages of the landslide remediation were directed to these areas. Despite a relatively large scope of remedy works and the evaluation of their effectiveness, the vast territory affected by slope failures was only partially rehabilitated depending on the approved funds. Therefore, even the remedial measures implemented so far are only partial, mainly in connection with the persistent movement activity in individual parts of the territory and should be completed according to the proposals from the geological works carried out and taking into account the results of monitoring.

In Western Slovakia, especially in the Bratislava region and Trnava region, Leitha limestone of the Badenian (Langhian – early Serravalian) age from St. Margarethen in Austria was widely used for architectural articles and sculptures (200 realizations), alternatively a similar limestone from Fertőrákos in Hungary. 380 tombstones were identified only in Bratislava cemeteries. From the second half of the 17th century to the first half of the 20th century, the limestones were one of the most used in Slovakia due to their light dressing and relatively homogeneous appearance. The strongly porous coarse-grained to medium-grained the Leitha limestone has the appearance of sandstone and is composed of a predominance of red algae nodules over foraminifers, sea urchin, moss and shell fragments. The rhodoliths, pectenoids and oysters are scattered in the Leitha limestones up to a few cm size, which distinguish the limestone type from other the Leitha limestones and similar Sarmatian limestones. The limestone is dominated by rhodolithes in the St. Margarethen quarry and by bivalves and macroscopic quartz in Fertőrákos quarry. Porous limestones are exposed to weathering outdoors, leading to mass loss, flaking, sulphate efflorescence, black crusts from microscopic organisms and the colonization by lichens and mosses. The peak of limestone use for public buildings and sculptures was the years 1745 to 1780 (reign of Maria Theresa), and about 1880 to 1915, when there was relative prosperity and machine production began. The tombstones made of the Leitha limestones shifts to a peak between 1905 and 1925. In the 20th century, the Leitha limestones gave way to a competition from Czech decorative stones.
