This paper examines the origin and geological structure of the Lublin Coal Basin, focusing on the development of the Lubelski Węgiel "Bogdanka" S.A. mine. The study outlines the history of exploration initiated in the interwar period, which ultimately resulted in the documentation of hard coal deposits in the Lublin region. The lithostratigraphy and tectonic evolution of the sedimentary basin are analyzed, with emphasis on the Lublin Beds that host multiple seams of thermal coal characterized by favorable quality parameters. The Carboniferous flora and fauna are discussed in relation to their role in coal-forming sedimentary environments. Methodological considerations address techniques of deposit recognition and documentation, including geological mapping, core drilling, and lithological studies. Digital deposit modeling is presented as a key tool for mine planning and operational optimization. The study highlights its importance for data standardization, decision-making integration, and sustainable resource management.

The article is a report from my stay in Scotland, at the IAS Conference 2024, together with a fieldtrip, entitled: Carboniferous Sediments of the Kingdom of Fife. A hike along the Scottish coast, surrounded by beautiful and mysterious cliffs, documented with numerous photos turned out to be very inspiring. The wealth of impressions, sensations and observations was caused not only by contact with geology, but also by the beauty of Scottish landscapes, cultural richness and found traces of Polish history. Participating in it allowed us to spend two wonderful days experiencing the diversity and colours of the Carboniferous rocks, beautifully exposed on Scottish beaches exposed to low tide. The article contains selected information about the geography, geology and history of the east coast of Scotland, sprinkled with a handful of memories, and is an encouragement to take the tourist risk of facing the weather... and see with your own eyes the beauty, mystery and danger of the Scottish cliffs.

Post-orogenic, post-collisional, intracontinental Permian-Carboniferous volcanism in the Sudetes, Central Europe, marked the transition from the Variscan Orogeny to the continental rifting in the eastern central Pangea. The volcanic rocks are part of volcano-sedimentary successions found in the Intra-Sudetic and North-Sudetic synclinoria. Between 313-287 Ma and culminating around 299 Ma, magmas originated from subduction-modified mantle sources and evolved in crustal magma chambers yielding rhyolitic ignimbrites and lavas with less widespread rocks of andesitic and trachyandesitic compositions. The older volcanic rocks reveal supra-subduction geochemical characteristics, while the younger ones show more pronounced within-plate signatures. Several tens of volcanic centres formed in the region, including lava fields, shield volcanoes, large rhyolite extrusions, ignimbrite caldera, maars and tuff rings, and numerous laccoliths and sills. Volcanic edifices underwent substantial erosion and supplied volcanogenic detritus into local depositional systems, while the caldera acted as an intrabasinal depositional centre. The volcanic rocks are significantly affected by post-volcanic and, mostly, diagenetic alteration. In recent years the extinct Permian-Carboniferous volcanoes became more widely recognized as regional nature attraction and part of the UNESCO Global Geoparks network.

The paper presents geological implications of new results of biostratigraphic studies (mainly palynostratigraphic) of Carboniferous rocks from the central part of the Sudetes. They brought important changes in stratigraphy, most often showing younger age of studied rocks than it was believed earlier. The onset of sedimentation in the Intra-Sudetic Basin, initially in the continental environment, was not earlier than in the middle Visean. Marine sediments, previously considered to be a manifesta¬tion of the Late Viseanian transgression, were found to be diachronic (from the late Visean to the Namurian C). Among profiles of the Szczawno Formation and its lithologic equivalents that were previously considered to be Upper Visean, only two profiles: Ptasia Góra in the Intra-Sudetic Basin and Paprotnia in the Bardo Unit, represent the uppermost Visean. Most of the other profiles from the Wałbrzych region turned out to represent the Namurian A (Serpukhovian) or even Namurian B and C (Bashkirian age) in the case of some profiles in the Sowie Mountains Massif. The late Visean-early Namurian (Serpukhovian) age range also encompasses marine mudstones from the southern part of the Świebodzice Unit, which were previously considered Late Devonian. This discovery is of great importance for the model of development of the Świebodzice Unit. Consequently, the timing of the marine sedimentation in different geological units of the middle part of the Sudetes should be revised. The coal bearing rocks of the Wałbrzych Formation, analysed in the study, are of Namurian A (upper Serpukhovian and lower Bashkirian) age. The Biały Kamień Formation was included in the Namurian B and C and Westphalian A (Bashkirian), the Żacler Formation - in the Westphalian A-C (Bashkirian and Moscovian), and the Glinik Formation - in the Westphalian D(?). The documentation of successive miospore zones from VF to OT(?) indicates that there are no stratigraphic gaps in the Upper Visean-Westphalian D (?) interval in the Intra-Sudetic Basin. The problem of the chronostratigraphic significance of miospores dating the Walchia shales in the Intra-Sudetic Basin and the need to reinterpret the location of the Carboniferous/Permian boundary are also discussed.

The aim of the research was a detailed sedimentological and petrographic analysis of the Dziwna Formation (Stephanian-?Autunian) in the Strzeżewo 1 borehole section in Western Pomerania. The results provided the new data on lithology, depositional environments and petrographic-mineralogical composition. They showed that sedimentation occurred in the environment of braided and anastomosing rivers in incised valleys. The composition of the sandstones indicates that they are more similar to the Carboniferous than to the Lower Permian (Rotliegend) sediments. This provides a basis for attempting to determine the boundary between the systems.

This paper presents geochemical data for 171 core samples of the Carboniferous coal-bearing series and the Miocene cove from the central part of the Upper Silesian Coal Basin. Major oxide concentrations (Al2O3, SiO2, Fe2O3, P2O5, K2O, MgO, CaO, Na2O, K2O, MnO, TiO2, and Cr2O3) were obtained using XRF. Trace and major elements (Mo, Cu, Pb, Zn, Ni, Co, U, Cr, V, Mn, As, Th, Sr, Cd, Sb, Bi, Ba, Ti, W, Zr, Ce, Nb, Ta, Be Sc) were analysed ICP-MS. The main goals of this study were to demonstrate the distribution, as well as the stratigraphical variability, of the selected elements and to determine whether chemostratigraphy tools could be effectively applied to analyze Carboniferous and Miocene deposits of the USCB. Geochemical studies have shown showed different geochemical features of the samples from the Carboniferous and the Miocene. The diversity is mainly expressed in the enrichment of Miocene sediments in Ca and Sr related to biogenic carbonate material. It was also stated that the concentrations of trace elements associated with the detrital fraction, such as Zn, Cr, Co, Ba, Ti, Zr, Nb, and Sc show slightly higher values in Carboniferous sediments. On the basis of the content of Ti, Zr, and Nb, as well as ratios such as Th/U, Zr/Th, Ti/Zr, and TiO2/K2O, units with different inputs of the terrigenous fraction can be identified in both Carboniferous and Miocene formations. The paper shows that chemostratigraphy can be used as a stratigraphic and correlation tool for the Carboniferous and the Miocene deposits of the USCB.

W pracy przedstawiono dane geochemiczne dla 171 próbek skał osadowych z karbońskiej serii węglonośnej i pokrywy mioceńskiej z centralnej części Górnośląskiego Zagłębia Węglowego. Udziały głównych tlenków (Al2O3, SiO2, Fe2O3, P2O5, K2O, MgO, CaO, Na2O, K2O, MnO, TiO2 i Cr2O3)oznaczono za pomocą XRF. Pierwiastki główne i śladowe (Mo, Cu, Pb, Zn, Ni, Co, U, Cr, V, Mn, As, Th, Sr, Cd, Sb, Bi, Ba, Ti, W, Zr, Ce, Nb, Ta, Be i Sc) analizowano przy pomocy ICP-MS. Głównym celem badań była analiza koncentracji i zmienności stratygraficznej wybranych pierwiastków głównych i śladowych, jak również ocena możliwości stosowania chemostratygrafii w analizie karbońskich i mioceńskich osadów GZW. Badania geochemiczne wykazały odmienne właściwości geochemiczne próbek z karbonu produktywnego oraz miocenu. Zróżnicowanie to wyraża się głównie wzbogaceniem osadów miocenu w Ca i Sr, związane z biogenicznym materiałem węglanowym. Stwierdzono również, że stężenia pierwiastków śladowych, związanych z frakcją detrytyczną, takich jak: Zn, Cr, Co, Ba, Ti, Zr, Nb, Sc, wykazują nieco wyższe wartości w osadach karbonu. Na podstawie koncentracji pierwiastków Ti, Zr i Nb oraz wskaźników geochemicznych Th/U, Zr/Th, Ti/Zr, TiO2/K2O można zidentyfikować jednostki o różnym udziale frakcji terygenicznej, zarówno w osadach karbonu i miocenu. W pracy wykazano, że chemostratygrafia może być z powodzeniem wykorzystywana jako narzędzie stratygraficzne i korelacyjne dla utworów karbonu i miocenu Górnośląskiego Zagłębia Węglowego.

Examples of Lower Jurassic carbonate platform margins are rare, probably due to the scarcity of good outcrops. One of the major palaeogeographic units of the Mesozoic Tethys, the Trento Platform, however, shows two different margin types facing the Belluno and the Lombardian basins. While the western margin, facing the Lombardian Basin, is showing an ooidal unit with frequent mud mounds (Massone Oolite), the eastern margin was poorly characterized, mainly due to difficult stratigraphic definition and problematic accessibility of outcrops. The eastern platform margin characteristics are strictly controlled by tectonic activity and the type of carbonate factory; the differences between the eastern and the western margin could be linked to windward-leeward position of the platform margin, more protected to the west than to the east. Subsidence increased since Late Triassic, due to the opening of the Alpine Tethys, defining shallow water areas, dominated by subtidal and peritidal muddy carbonates, and deeper basins, such as the Belluno and Lombardian Basin. More than 500 m of mud-dominated carbonates developed until Early Sinemurian, when major switch in the carbonate factory occurred. The Hettangian-Early Sinemurian margin is usually not well exposed and is strongly dolomitized and appears to be a tectonically controlled escarpments. Since Late Early Sinemurian, the carbonate factory changed and led to a huge production of peloids and ooids, promptly shed in the surrounding basin: in the Eastern Trento Platform we recognize a 400/500 m thick wedge of Sinemurian to Pliensbachian ooidal calcarenites pinching-out towards the basin, with scattered bioconstructions made of calcareous sponges across the margin. This wedge pinches out also towards the platform interior, showing that the ooids were poorly preserved on the platform top. The preserved slope shows an angle of about 20-25°. In the western margin, the resedimented ooids are more limited, probably due to the limited size of the marginal carbonate factory. In the Late Pliensbachian, probably in the Margaritatus zone, a drowning phase affected part of the eastern carbonate platform, switching to encrinitic calcarenites, while in the western one carbonate production continued until Bajocian. These encrinites are extremely thin on the platform top, but a resedimented wedge in the proximal basin highlights the position of the topographic margin. The margins of the Trento Platform is a rare example of Early Jurassic carbonate platform margin that can be used as a reference for coeval carbonate platform depositional systems.

There is a unique tectonostratigraphic unit called Kaminnyi Potik occur in the Ukrainian-Romanian Carpathian transborder zone. In the Ukrainian part numerous outcrops of this unit can be observed in many streams near Rachiv city, but its most spectacular occurrence is in the Chyvchyn Mountains. The whole complex consists of volcanogenic-sedimentary rocks and is divided into two Berriasian formations: Chyvchyn and Kaminnyi Potik. In the section of the Chyvchyn Formation, at the base, there are pillow lavas (basalts and andesites/trachyandesites) and volcano-sedimentary breccia with clasts of lava, coral limestones and radiolarites (submarine debris flows), and peperites as well. The Kaminnyi Potik Formation is made up of fine-grained hyaloclastic and carbonate debris flows of a flysch character (including organodetrital limestones with fragments of: corals, bryozoans, echinoderms bivalves and foraminifera), which overlying breccias and coral limestones of the Chyvchyn Formation. The profile ends by thin-bedded cherty limestones. The thin sections analysis revealed the following microfacies: oolithic-echinoderm packstone/grainstone; coral lithoclastic quartz packstone/grainstone; oolithic-lithoclastic wackestone/packstone; lithoclastic-echinoderm packestone; lithoclastic packestone; radiolarian echinoderm packestone; radiolarian wackestone; radiolarian-calpionellid wackestone and mudstone. Pyroclastic material is often present in the matrix. The ooids observed in the thin sections and the remains of fauna such as corals, echinoderms and bivalves suggest that the original material came from a carbonate platform that was sheltered by a coral reef. As a result of volcanic eruptions and possibly accompanying earthquakes, the platform has been destroyed and its traces are visible in clasts. Sedimentological character of submarine debris flows, (e.g. fractional graiding, mixture of shallow-water fauna and lithoclasts with deep-marine microfauna (radiolarians and calpionellids) and hyaloclastic material present in the matrix document short-term episodes of a catastrophic nature, leading to the redeposition of shallow-water sediments to the deeper parts of the basin.

Mid-oceanic seamount-capping (atoll-type) carbonates make a popular stratigraphic entity in the geology of Japan since they are often seen as various-sized (but usually large and typically huge) exotic blocks within ancient (mostly Permian to early Cretaceous) accretionary complexes distributed in the Japanese Islands. These carbonates consist of very thick and pure (in the sense that it lacked input of continental detritus), usually massive and fossiliferous, shallow-marine limestone, and rest on oceanic-island basalts (OIB) of hot-spot origin, formed in the Panthalassa Ocean. Stratigraphically, they comprise a unique sedimentary succession that records long-term (sometimes over 80 myr.), continuous, shallow-marine environmental and biotic changes during late Paleozoic and early Mesozoic times of the oceanic sector with a stable tectonic setting, and can only be found within the accretionary orogen in the context of Ocean Plate Stratigraphy (OPS). Thus, the mid-oceanic seamount carbonate succession is a “surefire” geological item for the investigation of the ancient subduction zone and suture zone. On the basis of my research expertise working on these mid-oceanic carbonates in Japan over many years, especially in the Carboniferous–Permian Akiyoshi Limestone known as the most typical seamount-capping atoll-type carbonate body in the Panthalassa Ocean, I exported this, essentially “made-in-Japan” and “cultivated-in-Japan”, geological concept of “mid-oceanic seamount carbonates within the accretionary orogen” to Southeast Asian geology, for better understanding the general geotectonic subdivision and evolution of the relevant region, especially for clarifying the position of Paleotethyan suture zones and the geohistory of the Eastern Paleotethys Ocean. In today’s Southeast Asia, Paleotethyan mid-oceanic seamount carbonates are distributed in Northern Thailand and western Yunnan, SW China where Gondwana and Tethys meet together. Of these two regions, Northern Thailand is subdivided into three basic geotectonic domains; from east to west the Cathaysian Indochina Block, Sukhothai Zone (a Permian–Triassic island arc developed along the Indochina margin), and peri-Gondwanan Sibumasu Block. In the eastern part of Sibumasu, a geotectonically peculiar area called the Inthanon Zone can be identified on which Paleotethyan oceanic rocks including the Carboniferous–Permian Doi Chiang Dao Limestone of mid-oceanic seamount origin are widely distributed. This limestone succession, sometimes making kilometer-sized huge limestone blocks, is estimated to be 1000 m thick or more, and consists mostly of shallow-marine fossiliferous massive limestone without siliciclastic intercalation throughout. Basalts having intra-plate (oceanic volcanic island) geochemistry are observed at the base of the succession. Foraminifers, especially fusulines, are the fundamental fossil group for establishing its detailed chronostratigraphy, and they clarified that the limestone continuously accumulated from the Visean (middle Early Carboniferous) to the Changhsingian (latest Permian) over the time of 90 myr. In western Yunnan, the Changning–Menglian Belt is defined between the Lincang Massif (a Permian–Triassic island arc system formed along the easterly Simao Block with Cathaysian affinity) to the east and the peri-Gondwanan Baoshan Block to the west. The Changning–Menglian Belt, subdivided into the East, Central, and West zones, entirely has been regarded as a closed remnant (suture zone) of the Paleotethys Ocean, but actually it is only in the Central Zone where oceanic rocks are distributed. Paleotethyan mid-oceanic carbonates in this belt are called the Banka Limestone, which is over 1200 m in total thickness and generally massive and pure, being free from continental siliciclastic input for the entire succession spanning nearly 90 myr. Foraminiferal (mostly fusuline) biostratigraphy suggested continuous deposition ranging from the Visean to the Changhsingian without significant hiatus in the succession. Thus, the Banka Limestone in western Yunnan is exactly correlated in view of lithostratigraphy, chronostratigraphy, and tectonostratigraphy to the Doi Chiang Dao Limestone in Northern Thailand. In a broad geotectonic perspective, the Paleotethyan oceanic rocks including the Doi Chiang Dao Limestone, distributed in the Inthanon Zone are considered to form various-sized tectonic outliers upon autochthonous basement rocks of Sibumasu now, which consists of early Paleozoic– Triassic sedimentary, meta-sedimentary, and igneous intrusive rocks. Similarly, those distributed in the Central Zone of the Changning–Menglian Belt are structurally resting by almost flat-lying faults (thrusts) upon siliciclastic rocks of the West and/or East zones, which presumably represent passive-margin (continental slope) sediments of the westerly, Gondwanan Baoshan Block. These mid-oceanic rocks are interpreted to have been once incorporated within an accretionary prism formed by the subduction of the Paleotethyan oceanic lithosphere beneath the Permian–Triassic island arc system represented by the Lincang Massif–Sukhothai Zone. The resultant collision of the Cimmerian (peri-Gondwanan) Sibumasu–Baoshan Block to the Cathaysian Indochina–Simao Block, thus the closure of the Paleotethys Ocean in present-day Southeast Asia, at around Triassic–Jurassic boundary time emplaced rocks of the accretionary complexes (containing Paleotethyan oceanic rocks as exotic blocks) onto the marginal part of the Sibumasu–Baoshan Block as large thrust sheets (nappe).

The extinct arachnid order Trigonotarbida Petrunkevitch, 1949 is reported here for the first time from Ukraine. The material consists of an opisthosoma preserved in ventral view from the upper Carboniferous (lower Moscovian; Paralegoceras–Eowellerites ammonoid zone) of the Gorlivka locality in the Donets Basin, eastern Ukraine. Formal assignment to a family or genus is difficult, but the preserved ventral anatomy is consistent with a member of the families Aphantomartidae Petrunkevitch, 1945, Kreischeriidae Haase, 1890 or Eophrynidae Karsch, 1882. It is noteworthy for expanding the known distribution of trigonotarbids in Europe and is only the second Palaeozoic arachnid to be formally described from Ukraine; the other being the carapace of a whip scorpion (Thelyphonida Latreille, 1804) from Lomovatka in the Luhansk Region, also in the Donets Basin.

Inconsistency in the approach to the corals included by different authors in the families Tachylasmatidae Grabau, 1928 and Pentaphyllidae Schindewolf, 1942 are discussed in the context of their relationship vs homeomorphy to the Family Plerophyllidae Koker, 1924. Following Schindewolf (1942), the pentaphylloid or cryptophylloid early ontogeny, typical of the former two families, is contrasted with the zaphrentoid ontogeny typical of the latter family. Comprehensive analysis proves the independent taxonomic position of the Suborder Tachylasmatina Fedorowski, 1973. The taxa described herein support this idea. The relationship of the two families: Tachylasmatidae and Pentaphyllidae within the framework of this suborder are suggested. A new genus left in open nomenclature (represented by a single specimen) and three new species, Pentaphyllum sp. nov. 1, ? Pentaphyllum sp. nov. 2 and Gen. et sp. nov. 1 are described from lower Bashkirian deposits.

The Family Neokoninckophyllidae and its type genus Neokoninckophyllum Fomichev, 1939 (type species: N. tanaicum Fomichev, 1939) are discussed and emended. In addition, the genera Orygmophyllum Fomichev, 1953 and Yuanophylloides Fomichev, 1953, originally included in the Families Campophyllidae Wedekind, 1922 and Lophophyllidae Grabau, 1928, respectively, are emended as well and transferred to the Neokoninckophyllidae. Two early Bashkirian species, viz. Yuanophylloides rectus (Vassilyuk in Aizenverg et al., 1983) and Y. inauditus (Moore and Jeffords, 1945), and the Moscovian Neokoninckophyllum sp. nov. are described on the basis of new collections from the Donets Basin. Neokoninckophyllum tanaicum, Yuanophylloides gorskyi Fomichev, 1953 (both Moscovian in age) and Y. cruciformis Fomichev, 1953 (latest Bashkirian), are redescribed on the basis of peels taken from Fomichev’s (1953) type specimens. Derivation of the Family Neokoninckophyllidae from the Subfamily Dibunophyllinae Wang, 1950 is postulated and phylogenetic links within the former are hinted at. The occurrence of Yuanophylloides inauditus in both the Donets Basin and the Western Interior Province of North America points to marine communication between those areas during the Bashkirian. The slightly earlier appearance of the oldest neokoninckophyllids in the Donets Basin, in comparison to North America (i.e., R1 vs R2 ammonoid biozones), documents the common roots and monophyletic development of the Neokoninckophyllidae in both areas.

EN

The Family Kumpanophyllidae Fomichev, 1953, synonymised by Hill (1981) with the Family Aulophyllidae Dybowski, 1873, is emended and accepted as valid. The new concept of this family, based on both new collections and discussion on literature data, confirms the solitary growth form of its type genus Kumpanophyllum Fomichev, 1953. However, several fasciculate colonial taxa, so far assigned to various families, may belong to this family as well. The emended genus Kumpanophyllum forms a widely distributed taxon, present in Eastern and Western Europe and in Asia. Its Serpukhovian and Bashkirian occurrences in China vs Bashkirian occurrences in the Donets Basin and in Spain, may suggest its far-Asiatic origin, but none of the existing taxa can be suggested as ancestral for that genus. Thus, the suborder position of the Kumpanophyllidae remains unknown. Four new species: K. columellatum, K. decessum, K. levis, and K. praecox, three Kumpanophyllum species left in open nomenclature and one offsetting specimen, questionably assigned to the genus, are described.

Early Carboniferous (late Tournaisian) conodonts, recovered from siliceous shales and silicites of the Nyan-Vorga Formation within the Lemva tectonic belt of the Polar Urals (Russia), include the biostratigraphically important taxa Siphonodella lanei, Gnathodus typicus, Dollymae hassi, and Scaliognathus anchoralis, marking the following conodont zones of the upper Tournaisian: crenulata, typicus, and anchoralis. Associated species include representatives of genera Siphonodella, Polygnathus, Pseudopolygnathus, Dollymae, Gnathodus, Kladognathus, and Idioprioniodus. These conodont faunas provide the first biostratigraphically constrained correlations between bathyal deposits of the Lemva Allochthone in the Polar Urals and the “standard” conodont zonation. Ostracodes found in the silicite of the typicus Zone are represented by Sagittibythere ? sp. and Tricornina (Bohemia) sp. The ostracodes are reported from the bathyal deposits of Urals for a first time. The traces of the global Mid-Aikuanian Event are recognized in the upper part of the Tournaisian bathyal succession. This event led to turnover in conodont associations and is followed by increasing in conodont diversity.

The Indian Cave Sandstone (Upper Pennsylvanian, Gzhelian) from the area of Peru, Nebraska, USA, has yielded numerous isolated chondrichthyan remains and among them teeth and dermal denticles of the Symmoriiformes Zangerl, 1981. Two tooth-based taxa were identified: a falcatid Denaea saltsmani Ginter and Hansen, 2010, and a new species of Stethacanthus Newberry, 1889, S. concavus sp. nov. In addition, there occur a few long, monocuspid tooth-like denticles, similar to those observed in Cobelodus Zangerl, 1973, probably representing the head cover or the spine-brush complex. A review of the available information on the fossil record of Symmoriiformes has revealed that the group existed from the Late Devonian (Famennian) till the end of the Middle Permian (Capitanian).

Campyloprion Eastman, 1902 is a chondrichthyan having an arched symphyseal tooth whorl similar to that of Helicoprion Karpinsky, 1899, but less tightly coiled. The holotype of Campyloprion annectans Eastman, 1902, the type species of Campyloprion, is of unknown provenance, but is presumed to be from the Pennsylvanian of North America. Campyloprion ivanovi (Karpinsky, 1922) has been described from the Gzhelian of Russia. A partial symphyseal tooth whorl, designated as Campyloprion cf. C. ivanovi, is reported from the Missourian Tinajas Member of the Atrasado Formation of Socorro County, New Mexico, USA. Partial tooth whorls from the Virgilian Finis Shale and Jacksboro Limestone Members of the Graham Formation of northern Texas, USA, are designated as Campyloprion sp. Two partial tooth whorls from the Gzhelian of Russia that were previously referred to C. ivanovi are designated as Campyloprion cf. C. annectans. The age of Toxoprion lecontei (Dean, 1898), from Nevada, USA, is corrected from the Carboniferous to the early Permian. An alternative interpretation of the holotype of T. lecontei is presented, resulting in a reversal of its anterior-to-posterior orientation. The genera Helicoprion, Campyloprion, and Shaktauites Tchuvashov, 2001 can be distinguished by their different spiral angles.

W artykule zaprezentowano wyniki badań według projektu „Ocena stężeń PAH i metali ciężkich na powierzchni hałd i obiektów przemysłowych" realizowanego w ramach Programu Operacyjnego Współpracy Transgranicznej Republika Czeska - Rzeczpospolita Polska przez VSB-TU w Ostravie oraz GIG (CZ 3.22/1.2.00/12.03398:2013). Badania na wybranych 20 obiektach (hałdach), po 10, po obu stronach granicy polsko-czeskiej w strefie przygranicznej Euroregionu Silesia wykazały, że pyły PM10 w warstwie przypowierzchniowej stanowią od 1,2 do 7,6 % zebranego materiału mineralnego. Ich skład mineralny związany jest z karbońskimi odpadami wydobywczymi oraz popiołami energetycznymi.

The article presents the results of the research done within project „Assessment of concentrations of WWA and heavy metals on the surface of dumps and industrial facilities" realized under the Operational Programme of Cross Border Cooperation of Czech Republic - Republic of Poland by the VSB-TU in Ostrava and CMI (CZ 3.22/2.1.00/12.03398:2013). The studies carried on 20 selected sites (waste dumps), 10 on each side of the Polish-Czech border, on the border area of the Silesia Euroregion, showed that PM10 dust in the near surface layer constitute between 1.2 to 7.6 % of the collected mineral material. Their mineral composition is related to the Carboniferous mining waste and fly ashes.

W trakcie wieloletnich badań geologicznych karbonu lubelskiego udowodniono występowanie kilku ważnych poziomów litologicznych, które są przydatne do przeprowadzania korelacji profilu karbonu z różnych rejonów Lubelskiego Zagłębia Węglowego. Jednym z nich jest poziom iłowców z Dunbarella usytuowany w dolnej części formacji z Lublina w bezpośrednim stropie pokładu węgla 395(305). Jest to poziom jednorodny litologicznie, ale zmienny pod względem zawartości skamieniałości fauny. Część dolna, o grubości do 0,6 m, zawiera skorupy małżów słodkowodnych z rodzaju Carbonicola i Naiadites. Wyższa część, o grubości około 15 m, oddzielona cienką, 0,35 m warstwą węglanową, zawiera skamieniałości fauny morskiej reprezentowanej przez małże w tym Dunbarella, ramienionogi, głowonogi i ślimaki, a w części stropowej o grubości do około 5,0 m, oprócz fauny Lingula charakterystycznej dla środowisk przejściowych, pojawiają się skamieniałości małżów słodkowodnych Naiadites i Anthracosia. Poziom ten definiuje spąg serii węglonośnej z ekonomicznymi pokładami węgla, a ponadto granicę między westfalem A i B.

Several lithological horizons of correlative importance have been distinguished in the Carboniferous section of the Lublin Coal Basin (Poland). One of them is the marine horizon with Dunbarella, that occurs as a claystone horizon in the lower part of the Lublin Formation, close to the coal seam no. 395 (305). Marine horizon with Dunbarella is lithologicaly unified but unique as it refers to the presence of fauna fossils. In the lower part of this horizon of 0,6m in thickness, shells of freshwater molluscs of Anthracosia and Naiadites occur. In the upper part of 15m in thickness, fossils of marine fauna occur, which are represented by: molluscs (including Dunbarella), brachiopods, cephalopods and gastropods. At the top part of the horizon of 5m in thickness, fossils of Lingula characteristic for brackish water environments occur. The presence of freshwater molluscs of Naiadites and Anthracosia is also indicative of the top part of the horizon. The boundary of marine horizon with Dunbarella between Westphalian A and Westphalian B is acknowledged as the indicative horizon of the bottom part of economic coal-bearing formation of the Carboniferous in the Lublin Coal Basin.
