The West Bohemian shear zone forms a steep collapse structure along which east-side-down normal movements led to the juxtaposition of the relatively cold Cadomian basement of the Teplá-Barrandian unit against high grade Moldanubian rocks. The determined intrusion depths of synkinematic plutons situated in the both units results in a minimum vertical displacement between 340 and 320 Ma.
