Sulfate mineralization occurs in almost all lithostratigraphic beds of the Carpathians and has been described for at least the last century. While carrying out cartographic studies near Bobowa, a new site of gypsum mineralization was discovered within the hieroglyphic beds of the Jankowa anticline. The gypsum crystals found there reach up to several centimetres in length and, so far, no similar ones have been described in the Carpathian flysch deposits. Gypsum from Jankowa occurs in the form of intergrowth and twinnings, rosettes and larkspurs, and vein fillings.

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 Moravskoslezské 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 Moravskoslezské 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.

11 specimens of large sized ammonites from the Štramberk Limestone deposited in the collections in Prague represent 6species. Two species belong to the superfamily Lytoceratoidea, the remaining ones to the superfamily Perisphinctoidea. The perisphinctid specimens belong to the Lower and the Upper Tithonian, and the lytoceratids probably correspond to the same stratigraphic level. Two species, namely Ernstbrunnia blaschkei and Djurjuriceras mediterraneum were not known from the Štramberk Limestone earlier.

The Oligocene flysch sequence from the Hulskie section in the Polish Outer Carpathians was palaeomagnetically examined. The flysch complex containing the Jasło and Zagórze limestone horizons revealed palaeomagnetic properties sufficient for a magnetostratigraphy to be established. The correlation of the local to the global magnetic polarity scale indicates that the Jasło limestone was deposited very close to the Rupelian and Chattian boundary i.e. ca. 28.4 Ma. In the same way, the age of the Zagórze limestone was defined as close to ca. 27.6 Ma. The entire450 mof studied section was formed between ca. 29 and 26.5 Ma. It implies an average sedimentary ratio of about 18 cm per thousand years. The palaeomagnetic directions from the Hulskie section do not display the Fisher type distribution and do not fit the reversal test and therefore cannot be used for any regional tectonic reconstruction.

In the Late Jurassic to Early Cretaceous palaeogeography of the Alpine Tethys the term Ocean is used for different parts of these sedimentary areas: eg. Ligurian – Piedmont and Penninic, Magura, Pieniny, Valais and Ceahlau-Severins oceans. The Magura Ocean occupied the more northern position in the Alpine-Carpathian arc. During the Late Cretaceous–Paleogene tectono-sedimentary evolution the Magura Ocean was transformed into several (Magura, Dukla, Silesian, sub-Silesian and Skole) basins and intrabasinal source area ridges now incorporated into the Outer Western Carpathians.

Over 100 ammonites were collected from a block of bedded shallow-water Štramberk Limestone at a new location at the Kotouč Quarry, near Štramberk (Silesian Unit, Czech Republic). Berriaselline neocomitids, including Berriasella jacobi, B. oppeli, Tirnovella allobrogensis, T. cf. allobrogensis, Delphinella consanguinea, Pseudosubplanites cf. grandis and Malbosiceras cf. asper, are the most abundant species in this ammonite association. The olcostephanitid, Spiticeras blancheti, is rare. The index species for the Early Berriasian, B. jacobi, occurs in large numbers. On the basis of the present study, the upper boundary of the stratigraphic range of the Štramberk Limestone in the type area is dated as early Berriasian (ammonite Berriasella jacobi Zone). Ammonites with ages younger than early Berriasian have never been found in the Štramberk area. The deposition of the Štramberk Limestone in the Štramberk area came to an end during that period.

The soil piping that occurs on luvisols in the vicinity of the village of Halenkovice was studied for 5 years. These piping phenomena can only be found where arable land meets the forest or a belt of shrubbery. If there is a scarp in the locality, which usually changes from 6° in the field to approximately 30° in the forest, soil pipes are more likely to occur. Before the scarp, the slope flattens out and it is almost horizontal. This factor makes it possible for the overland flow to seep into the slope. This seepage results in soil piping, which is formed in loess loam and colluvial deposits. There are about 15 sites in the vicinity of the village of Halenkovice, where soil piping occurs. In one of them, Halenkovice 1 (an area of 900 m2) we closely studied 47 partial cavities. Their internal volume is 3.8 m3. The volume of the sink holes is 23 m3. There are two types of soil pipes – vertical, which on average tend to be shorter (40 cm) and lead the water under the surface, and soil pipes parallel with the slope, which are on average 81 cm long. Water flows through the pipes during a thaw or precipitation, which often takes away the top soil. The intensity of this process depends on the intensity of precipitation, which occurs outside the growing season, when there are no crops in the fields.

The paper presents the first example of Holocene faults in the OuterWestern Carpathians in Poland. Small-scale normal faults at Koninki, Gorce Mts., cut both Palaeocene strata of the Ropianka Formation of the Magura Nappe and overlying coarse-clastic bedload facies of Holocene alluvium that builds a 5-5.5-high terrace step of a small valley. These NE-trending faults are accompanied by reorientation of clast a-b planes subparallel to fault planes and by clast fracturing. Such deformations must have been induced by relatively strong earthquakes, unknown from historical record of the Outer Carpathian seismicity. Fault attitude points to NW-oriented axis of the minimum principal stress, which is compatible with parameters of the present-day stress field in the Outer Western Carpathians of Poland.

Sedimentological development of the Verovice Formation (Czech Moravia) is presented, according to Early Cretaceous geotectonic-eustatic changes in the proto-Silesian Basin. Those processes were a consequence of a gradual rebuilding the architecture of the Alpine-Carpathian realm. The geological events well correspond with the global sequence stratigraphy.

Young tectonic movements in the Carpathians, both vertical and horizontal ones, display local varia- tions. The Dunajec River valley is one of the areas where this differentiation has been documented best. New data on differentiated tectonic uplift, based on the study of changing elevations of five levels of fluvial strath terraces, were obtained in the lowermost reaches of two Dunajec’s tributaries: Kamienica and Ochotnica. The results indicate a change in the rate of valley bottom incision during the Pleistocene. Initially, the rate of incision was higher in the Kamienica River valley during ca. 600–350 ka BP. Later, since ca. 130 ka BP until now, the proportion became reversed and the rate of incision was nearly twice as fast in the Ochotnica River valley than in the Kamienica River valley. This is probably related to the mobility of the overthrust of the Krynica slice onto the Bystrica slice, both building the inner portion of the Magura Nappe. Reactivation of this thrust may be a result of neotectonic activity of large-scale faults situated at the depths of 5–20 km and possibly rooted in the Palaeozoic– Mesozoic basement.

The Early Cretaceous ammonites from the Hradiste Formation (Wernsdorfer Schichten in original concept) in the Czech part of the Silesian Unit of the Outer (Flysch)Western Carpathians are described. This rich material, collected over more than 40 years, includes many usually fragmentarily preserved ammonites. The majority of specimens are preserved as "half-ammonoids"; a small portion of them have pyritized inner whorls with preserved suture lines. 15 species-level taxa are described, partly in open nomenclature. One species, ?Valdedorsella hoheneggeri, is described as new; albeit its generic classification remains uncertain. The ammonites described span the late Early Barremian (Niclesia pulchella ammonite Zone) to basal Aptian (Deshayesites oglanlensis ammonite Zone).

The Outer Carpathian Basin domain developed in its initial stage as a Jurassic-Early Cretaceous rifted passive margin that faced the eastern parts of the oceanic Alpine Tethys. Following closure of this oceanic basin during the Late Cretaceous and collision of the Inner Western Carpathian orogenic wedge with the Outer Carpathian passive margin at the Cretaceous-Paleocene transition, the Outer Carpathian Basin domain was transformed into a foreland basin that was progressively scooped out by nappes and thrust sheets. In the pre- and syn-orogenic evolution of the Outer Carpathian basins the following prominent periods can be distinguished: (1)Middle Jurassic- Early Cretaceous syn-rift opening of basins followed by Early Cretaceous post-rift thermal subsidence, (2) latest Cretaceous- Paleocene syn-collisional inversion, (3) Late Paleocene toMiddle Eocene flexural subsidence and (4) Late Eocene-EarlyMiocene synorogenic closure of the basins. In the Outer Carpathian domain driving forces of tectonic subsidence were syn-rift and thermal post-rift processes, as well as tectonic loads related to the emplacement of nappes and slab-pull. Similar to other orogenic belts, folding of the Outer Carpathians commenced in their internal parts and progressed in time towards the continental foreland. This process was initiated at the end of the Paleocene at the Pieniny Klippen Belt/Magura Basin boundary and was completed during early Burdigalian in the northern part of the Krosno Flysch Basin. During Early and Middle Miocene times the Polish Carpathian Foredeep developed as a peripheral foreland basin in front of the advancing Carpathian orogenic wedge. Subsidence of this basin was controlled both by tectonic and sedimentary loads. The Miocene convergence of the Carpathian wedge with the foreland resulted in outward migration of the foredeep depocenters and onlap of successively younger deposits onto the foreland.

This paper provides the results of a new litho- and biostratigraphic study from the contact zone between the Magura Nappe and Pieniny Klippen Belt close to Polish-Slovakian border. In the southernmost part of the Krynica facies zone of the Magura Nappe two new lithostratigraphic units have been established: the Poprad Member and the Kremna Formation. The Late Eocene-Oligocene age of the Malcov Formation (NP 19-NP 24) of the Pieniny Klippen Belt has also been confirmed. A Late Oligocene age (Zone NP 25 and lower part of NN1) was determined in deposits belonging to the Poprad Member of theMagura Formation, while an EarlyMiocene age (upper part of NN1 and NN2 zones) was established for the Kremna Formation. The Late Cretaceous-MiddleMiocene geotectonic evolution of the orogenic suture zone, between the Inner and Outer Carpathians, is outlined.

The sedimentary basins of the Outer Carpathians are regarded as the remnant oceanic basins that were transformed into the foreland basin. These basins developed between the colliding European continent and the intra-oceanic arcs. In the pre-orogenic and syn-orogenic evolution of the Carpathian basins the following prominent periods can be established: Middle Jurassic — Early Cretaceous opening of basins and post-rift subsidence, Late Cretaceous—Palaeocene inversion, Palaeocene toMiddle Eocene subsidence, Late Eocene–Early Miocene synorogenic closing of the basins. In the Outer Carpathian sedimentary area the important driving forces of the tectonic subsidence were syn- and post-rift thermal processes as well as the emplacement of the nappe loads related to the subduction processes. Similar to the other orogenic belts, the Outer Carpathians were progressively folded towards the continental margin. This process was initiated at the end of the Palaeocene at the Pieniny Klippen Belt Magura Basin boundary and completed during Early Burdigalian in the northern part of the Krosno flysch basin.

New 40K/40Ar datings for intrusive teschenitic rocks in the Silesian Unit of the Outer Western Carpathians in Poland are presented. Several petrological varieties of the intrusions were studied at 5 localities. Dating was performed on monomineral separates of biotites and amphiboles, as well as on whole rock samples. Biotite ages (137.9–133.1Ma: Valanginian) are significantly older than those of amphiboles (112.5–89.9 Ma: Albian–Turonian). Whole rock ages are considerably spread between these two clusters, being concordant either with “biotite” or with“amphibole” dates, or much younger. Interpretation of data poses some problems because evidence exists for hydrothermal alterations what might influence Ar content in both minerals. Older, biotite ages, are interpreted as more reliable crystallization ages since they are close to the age of surrounding sediments and are concordant with field observations that intrusions in some cases are almost surficial. Amphibole ages are probably affected by Ar loss due to hydrothermal activity. Comparison with recently published 40Ar/39Ar datings implies that duration of teschenitic and related magmatism in the Silesian Basin was probably from Valanginian up to Barremian–Aptian (ca. 15 Ma).

In the upper part of the Ziębówka stream valley (a tributary of the Raba River) in the Beskid Średni Mountains, a landslide's peat bog of fen type occurs, which was developed in the Late Glacial. Total thickness of the deposits reaches ca. 3.3 m. The peat bog, filled with decomposed peat, woody osier peat, moss fen peat and sedge peat, is covered by minerogenic sediments (clay) ca. 1.4 m thick. The analysis of the deposits (pollen analysis, radiocarbon datings, lithological studies) have allowed to reconstruct palaeoenvironmental changes in the Late Glacial and the Holocene. Radiocarbon datings obtained from the bottom of the peat bog (13.8 ka and 13.9 ka) suggest that the depression was formed during the Oldest Dryas Stadial. The beginning of peat bog development was dated by pollen analysis at the late Bolling or the early Allerod Interstadials. In the Allerod and Younger Dryas portion of the log, repeated cyclic delivery of minerogenic sediments connected with the permafrost thawing took place. The beginning of the Holocene is very well marked in the log by a gradual delivery of minerogenic sedaments, as an effect of permafrost thawing, related to climatic warming. Minerogenic cover of the peat bog, which was formed at the beginning of the early Subboreal, is preceded by an hiatus, and probably erosional removal of a part of the deposits (BO-AT), due to strong hydrometeorological events connected with the early Subboreal increase in humidity. Minerogenic sediments were deposited during the late Subboreal and the Subatlantic. The horizons of the charcoal accumulation were found in the bottom middle part and at the top of minerogenic cover. These findings suggest that the onset and prolonged sedimentation of minerogenic material in the peat bog was connected with some stages of anthropogenic deforestation in the neighbourhood, during stages of prehistorical and early Middle Age settlement.

This paper concerns the identification of neotectonics structures on the basis of topographic maps analysis. The investigation parameter is valley floor width (VFW), this being applied to the drainage basin of the BeCva river, Czech Republic. It is firstly necessary to determine the theoretic profile of the VFW downstream increment. For its construction the magnitudo was used (Shreve, 1966). Then, the differences between the real VFW and the theoretical VFW were calculated. The differences were classified according to the associated bedrock lithology. The sections where differences were widely divergent from the average are assumed to be have been affected by neotectonics.
