- Abstract
Traditionally used graphic method of the lineations retilting according to horizontal axis in the projection net is relatively demanding. The paper proposes easily applicable method for the fi eld processing of oriented lineations and their retilting to horizontal plane. Presented calculation is appropriate mainly for oriented lineations - vectors, but it can be used also for processing of not oriented lineations - the axes data. It is also adapted for reversed sedimentary beds. Method mitigates the possibility of errors at retilting determinations. The paper presents also a practical example of processing and retilting of oriented lineations in sediments of gravity fl ows in the fl ysch sequences of the Western Carpathians. Besides the paleocurrent analysis, presented method can be also used in structural geology.
