The present account summarizes the results of lithological and facies analysis of representative sections of the Godula Formation, in order to contribute to the understanding of the lithofacies structure of this formation, the processes involved in its development and the character of the depositional environment. The sedimentology of different parts of the Godula Formation was investigated in six representative sections in the western and central parts of the Moravskoslezske Beskydy Mts. The Godula Formation is made up mainly of Upper Cretaceous siliciclastic turbidites and was formed during the most significant depositional phase of the filling of the deep-sea Silesian Basin. On the basis of sedimentological research, five facies classes (including four subclasses) were defined: 1) conglomeratic sandstones, 2) sandstones, 3) sandstones with mudstones, 4) mudstones with sandstones and siltstones, and 5) mudstones with siltstones. The methodology of facies analysis allowed the identification of several facies association, corresponding to the medial and distal parts of a turbidite fan and associated siliciclastic apron. The facies of depositional lobes, lobe transitions and the apron are described. The sandstone and mudstone facies (F3) occurs mostly in the depositional lobes. The sandstone facies (F2) and mudstone with sandstone and siltstone facies (F4) are present only to a lesser degree. The facies of the lobe transitions include lithologic associations of the lobe fringe and channel levee environments. They comprise mainly the mudstones with sandstones and siltstones (F4) and the mudstone with siltstone facies (F5). In the apron deposits, the sandstone facies (F2) and the conglomeratic sandstone facies (F1) predominate. Palaeocurrent analysis from measurements made in selected profiles showed that in the Moravskoslezske Beskydy Mts., the dominant direction of sediment transport was from SW to NE. After applying correction of the known counterclockwise rotation of the nappes of the Outer Carpathians, this corresponds to a longitudinal direction along the original axis of the basin.

This paper provides a new sedimentological and palaeogeographic interpretation of the Late Cretaceous (late Cenomanian to early Coniacian) shallow-marine succession exposed in the Wleń Graben and in the Krzeszów Brachysyncline (NE Bohemian Massif, Sudetic Block). These two tectonic subunits are outliers of the North Sudetic and Intra-Sudetic synclinoriums, respectively, and contain relics of the diachronous sedimentary succession of a seaway linking the Boreal and Tethyan marine provinces during the Late Cretaceous. Results of sedimentological study and facies analysis show that the late Cenomanian sedimentation within this corridor was dominated by strong in situ reworking of the pre-Cretaceous bedrock driven by storm waves and possibly tidal currents. In the latest Cenomanian, siliciclastic sedimentation was followed by the deposition of offshore-transition to offshore muddy calcareous facies in the Krzeszów area, while the deposition of coarse-grained siliciclastic facies continued in the Wleń area. The nearshore clastic belt in the latter area changed into a wider strait dominated by offshore sedimentation in the early Turonian, whereby the interconnected Wleń and Krzeszów passages evolved into a uniform strait of fully-marine sedimentation. In the middle Turonian, the southern part of the strait became progressively filled with coarse-grained siliciclastic material supplied from the east. At the end of the late Turonian and in the early Coniacian, the strait funnelled bi-directional tidal currents along its axis. The youngest Cretaceous strata in the Wleń area comprise erosional relics of the early Coniacian shoreface to offshore-transition deposits. The younger Cretaceous deposits are unpreserved, probably eroded during the post-Santonian(?) tectonic inversion of the Wleń–Krzeszów strait. Despite the relatively small distance between the two relic parts of the strait, the shallow-marine succession reveals distinct diachroneity on a regional scale, reflecting an interplay of eustatic changes, differential tectonic subsidence and clastic sediment supply. This paper presents the first detailed sedimentological logs from the two study areas, with new findings of fossil fauna and flora, proposes a new palaeogeographic interpretation and discusses the influence and development of the source areas for the Cretaceous Sudetic Wleń–Krzeszów marine strait at the NE fringe of the Bohemian Massif.

This paper presents the first data on the organic matter and thermal maturity of Mesozoic and Cenozoic sedimentary rocks in the East Herzegovina region of the External Dinarides. Representative, organic-rich samples from outcropping sedimentary rocks of different ages in the area (Triassic to Neogene) were selected and analysed. The organic matter was studied by Rock-Eval pyrolysis and under the microscope in reflected non-polarized light and incident blue light. The results obtained show the presence of different types of organic matter in the area and thermal maturity stages from immature (Cenozoic) to early mature (Mesozoic). Vitrinite is abundant in the samples analysed, with the exception of Cretaceous samples that contain mostly lamalginite and bituminite. While measured vitrinite reflectance in end-member samples (Triassic shale 0.78 % Rr and Neogene coal 0.34% Rr) are in good correlation with the Tmax parameter from Rock-Eval pyrolysis. T max generally shows lower values in most Mesozoic samples. The organic petrographic data indicate that specific kerogen in Cretaceous and some Triassic sedimentary rocks is a probable reason for the significantly lower T max values. In addition, the results of pyrolysis documented before and after extraction revealed that free hydrocarbons (bitumen) in the surface samples analysed suppress the Tmax values.

Vegetation response to environmental changes based on palynological research on the Middle Abstract : Palynological research was performed on the first Mid-Polish lignite seam (MPLS-1) at the Jóźwin IIB open-cast mine. The extremely rich pollen assemblages allowed investigation of the development of phytogenic sedimentation and the succession of plant communities. The vegetation cover, representing peat accumulation and adjacent areas, was reconstructed in the homogeneous lignite seam. Despite the lack of clear macroscopic differences in the lignite lithology and a similar floristic composition, a similar succession of plant communities was observed in three repetitions in the profile. The plant communities described were grouped into five cycles. Changes in the succession resulted mainly from oscillations of the groundwater level. On the basis of the vegetation composition, the climatic conditions predominant during the peat-forming sedimentation were reconstructed. Climate changes are most precisely recorded in the mixed mesophilous forest community. Its floristic composition shows that the climate was warm-temperate and humid at that time. The lower part of the profile contains more taxa with high thermal requirements: Araliaceae, Mastixiaceae, Anacardiaceae, Hammamelidaceae, Cornaceae, Symplocaceae, Ilex , Itea , Engelhardia , etc. It is related to the Middle Miocene Climatic Optimum (MMCO). In the upper part of the profile, the vegetation composition reflects the beginning of a cooling trend. This is indicated by the reduced number of highly thermophilous taxa and the decreased taxonomic diversity of forest communities. The changing climatic and environmental conditions interrupted peat-bog sedimentation and caused termination of the development of thicker lignite seams.

Results of a new mapping and structural field study of the Wlen Graben (North Sudetic Synclinorium, SW Poland), made up of a post-Variscan volcano-sedimentary succession, were used to set up a new model of its multiphase tectonic evolution. The Wlen Graben constitutes a narrow tectonic trough, ca. 17.5 km long and up to 3.5 km wide, superimposed on the low-grade metamorphic rocks of the Kaczawa Metamorphic Unit and bounded by steep, NW−SE-oriented, normal and reverse faults. Previously, a simple, one-stage evolution of the graben was considered, with a single Alpine age intraplate compressional event responsible for the formation of the unit. The present study shows that the Late Cretaceous (post-Santonian?) evolution of the Wlen Graben was dominated by NW−SE-oriented, normal faults during the first, extensional stage of its formation. The central and southern parts of the graben were strongly affected by NW−SE-trending reverse faults and overthrusts, which reflect the second, probably latest Cretaceous to early Palaeogene(?) compressional event of tectonic deformation. Moreover, the whole area of the graben is dissected by sinistral strike-slip faults oriented perpendicular to the graben margins, representing the third stage of deformation (late Palaeogene–Neogene). The latest stage of evolution of the Wlen Graben includes a possible Neogene to Quaternary development of normal faults, interpreted here as gravitational collapse structures related to present-day morphology, rather than tectonically induced ones.
