A model of evolution and destruction of the late Ediacaran riverine-estuarine system that developed in the Podlasie Depression and Lublin-Podlasie slope of the East European Craton is presented based on the identification and definition of facies associations, depositional systems and the framework of high-resolution sequence stratigraphy. Two groups of depositional systems have been identified - alluvial, estuarine, and one open coast system. The alluvial system was initially represented in the northeastern and western synrift depocentres by alluvial fans. Distal parts of the fans were areas of fluvial deposition. Large, sand-bed braided rivers flowed transverse to the sedimentary basin axis. During final stages of the alluvial basin evolution, the levelling of the rift topography and the increase in subsidence rate in the south-east of the basin resulted in the development of anastomosed system rivers. The rivers flowed along the basin axis from north to south. A change in the braided-river flow type from ephemeral during the early stage of the alluvial basin evolution to perennial in the later stages, development of anastomosed system river floodplains and the change in the colour of accumulated fluvial deposits indicate a climate change from arid and desert to more humid and moderate conditions. The late Ediacaran siliciclastic succession of the Lublin basin is a record of the transgressive stage of estuary development. It is manifested by five successive parasequences composing the transgressive systems tract. During the earliest evolutionary stages, the Lublin estuary was a mixed wave-and tide-dominated. In its peak development, as the influence of tides significantly increased, it turned into a macrotidal, hypersynchronous estuary of funnel-shaped geometry. Regression of the Lublin estuary, resulting in its ultimate decline, started along with the highstand development at the Ediacaran/Cambrian transition. The estuary became transformed into a mixed-energy wave-and tide-dominated estuarine system and subsequently into a wave-dominated open coast.

Na podstawie zdefiniowania asocjacji facjalnych i systemów depozycyjnych oraz przedstawienia ram wydzieleń wysokorozdzielczej stratygrafii sekwencji sformułowano model rozwoju i destrukcji późnoediakarskiego systemu fluwialno-estuariowego, rozprzestrzenionego w obniżeniu podlaskim i lubelskim skłonie kratonu wschodnioeuropejskiego. Wyróżniono dwie grupy systemów depozycyjnych - aluwialne i estuariowe oraz system otwartego wybrzeża. System aluwialny był początkowo reprezentowany w północno-wschodnich i zachodnich depocentrach synryftowych przez stożki aluwialne. Dystalne części stożków były obszarami depozycji fluwialnej. Duże, piaskodenne rzeki roztokowe spływały poprzecznie do osi basenu sedymentacyjnego. W końcowych stadiach ewolucji basenu aluwialnego wyrównanie topografii ryftowej i wzrost tempa subsydencji w jego południowo-wschodniej części spowodowały rozwój rzek systemu anastomozującego. Spływały one wzdłuż osi basenu z północy na południe. Zmiana rodzaju przepływu rzek roztokowych z okresowego we wczesnych etapach rozwoju basenu aluwialnego na ciągły w późniejszych stadiach, rozwój równi zalewowych rzek systemu anastomozującego i zmiana koloru osadów akumulowanych przez rzeki świadczą o zmianie klimatu suchego, pustynnego na bardziej wilgotny, umiarkowany. Późnoediakarska sukcesja silikoklastyczna basenu lubelskiego jest zapisem transgresywnego etapu ewolucji estuarium. Jej przebieg odzwierciedla pięć kolejnych parasekwencji budujących transgresywny ciąg systemowy. W najwcześniejszych etapach rozwoju estuarium lubelskie miało charakter mieszany, falowo-pływowy. W fazie maksymalnego rozwoju, w miarę znaczącego wzrostu oddziaływania pływów, było to makropływowe, hypersynchroniczne estuarium o kominowej geometrii. Na przełomie ediakaru i kambru wraz z rozwojem ciągu systemowego wysokiego stanu względnego poziomu morza rozpoczął się regres i stopniowa likwidacja estuarium lubelskiego, które przekształciło się w estuarium o mieszanej energii falowo-pływowej i następnie w otwarte wybrzeże z udziałem falowania.
