Pelso Plate

Source: Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
Pelso and Tisza units, the Zágráb-Hornád line is the former plate margin between them

Pelso Plate or Pelsonia Terrane is a small tectonic unit. It is situated in the

Tisza, Pelso and Dacia microplates.[1][2][3][4] The Zagreb-Hernád
line is the former plate margin between the Pelso of African origin and the Tisza Plate of Eurasian origin.

The Pelso block is sometimes considered as southern portion of the ALCAPA and compared with internal zone of Western Carpathian Mts. which is called

Apulian plate.[6] The Pelso sensu stricto is therefore composed of Tornaic, Bukkic and Silicic superunits, that evolved south of the Meliata-Halstatt Ocean
and the superimposed Cenozoic sedimentary cover.
