Abstract

DEKORP 3-B has been conceived in the early stage of DEKORP as one of three nearly parallel seismic profiles crossing the Rhenohercynian and the Saxothuringian Zone of the western central part of the Federal Republic of Germany nearly perpendicularly to the Variscan strike. DEKORP 3-A should connect 3-B to oil industry seismic profiles which had been recorded in the Leinegraben area, and are deep enough to cover the total thickness of the Earth's crust. During the discussions in 1990 on a cooperation programme with the Potsdam ZIPE institute there were various proposals, for example a prolongation of DEKORP 4 towards NW along the Thuringian Forest up to the Harz Mountains. But due to the very short time of preparation of the survey in 1990, only the proposal of a combination of DEKORP 3 with a modern seismic profile through the southernmost part of Saxony seemed to be realizable. This combination resulted - for the southern part of the profile - in a long seismic profile through the Saxothuringicum with the direction of the profile changing from NW-SE to SW-NE. The total length of the profile amounts to some 600 km and crosses very different tectono-geological units with different strike and dip. Thus, there was the question of how to record these varying strikes and dips, and yet to realize the aim of obtaining a unified data base for detailed comparisons along the profile by applying the same field parameters to all profile sections. The results are explained in section 2 of this paper. Section 3 gives a short overview of the piggyback experiments carried out along with the field survey of DEKORP 3/MVE-90. The last section reports on the processing of the near-vertical reflection seismic data along the main line and (only preliminary) of the cross lines. Special investigations of the data recorded on the two easternmost cross-lines on both sides of the Elbe Lineament are reported separately in chapter 2 of the publication on the eastern part of the MVE-90 profile.
