All the Paleogene represents a key period in the growth of the Alpine belt and the development of surrounding sedimentary basins. Nevertheless, one of the most intriguing timelapse is represented by 10 Ma, between ca. 40 and ca. 30 Ma, when the growing belt hosted volcanic complexes that lead to the accumulation of volcanogenic sequences within the Northern Alpine and the Southern Alpine foreland basins. Such sequences present peculiar characteristics that varies depending on the period and depocenter where they where accumulated. In addition, they represent the fundamental clue to reconstruct how the volcanic arc developed, which kind of volcanic activity characterized it, where the volcanoes were located and to speculate about how magmatism was produced before coming to the surface. Volcanic sequences are, in fact, extremely rare and confined to the west of the chain, disarticulated from the source-to-sink systems that supplied detritus to the depocenters, together with dikes crosscutting the southern part of the belt, so less is the geodynamic information gain from them. The present talk will review a decade of investigation carried out on stratigraphic, petrographic and geochemical data on the different volcanogenic sequences, trying to reconstruct the relationship between putative volcanic centers and the basins, as well as to understand the nature of the Paleocene volcanic arc/arcs. All the considered sequences are characterized by large amounts of volcanogenic detritus, and sometimes they rarely preserve pyroclastic deposits. Occasionally, such sequences are also mixed with non-volcanic detritus, a component useful in tracing provenance of sediments and giving clues about palaeoenvironments constituting the growing belt. Although beyond of being exhaustive, the present communication represents a first attempt in marking fundamental temporal and palaeogeographic steps in the evolution of a volcanic arc through several millions of years on one of the most fascinating orogenic belt.

Horizontal helical trace fossils constitute a characteristic burrow architectural design, but their ichnotaxonomy requires some clarification. In this paper, we review and revise this taxonomy on the basis of collections and data from the literature. Helicorhaphe is included in Helicodromites because its type ichnospecies displays the same morphological principles. A new ichnospecies of Helicodromites is distinguished from Oligocene offshore fan delta deposits in NW Italy. All ichnospecies of Helicodromites display a characteristic set of morphometric parameters that allow their distinction. All were probably produced by capitellid polychaetes in a deep tier within the sediment. They were generally stationary burrows, whose tracemakers benefited from feeding on microbes without significant sediment reworking.

New findings of crustacean decapod brachyurans from the Rupelian period (lower Oligocene) in Iran are presented in this study. In particular, Lophoranina sp. and Palaeocarpilius cf. P. rugifer Stoliczka, 1871, from the Rupelian strata were found in two previously unexplored localities, Abshar and Vezg near Yasuj in the southwestern region of Iran. The discovery contributes to fill the gap in the record of brachyuran decapod crustaceans in Iran during the Eocene and Miocene periods. The presence of both genera in the Oligocene of Iran suggests a certain degree of faunal similarity among brachyurans on both sides of the Tethys Realm.

Trace fossils and lithofacies have been studied for the first time in the Numidian Formation (Upper Oligocene–Lower Miocene) of the Ouarsenis Mountains in Algeria to interpret their depositional environment. Twenty-two ichnogenera have been recognized in eight lithofacies of three main facies associations in four representative sections. Distribution of the trace fossils is dependent on the facies. Most trace fossils are dominated by post-depositional forms (62%) and occur in fine-grained, thin-bedded sandstones of facies F4. They belong to the Ophiomorpha rudis, Paleodictyon and the Nereites ichnosubfacies of the Nereites ichnofacies. The O. rudis ichnosubfacies is recorded in 1) medium- to very thick-bedded sandstones of the facies association FA1, interbedded with thinner sandstone beds of the facies F2 and F4 in the upper unit of the sections studied, which were deposited in channel fill and levee-overbank environments, and in 2) medium- to thin-bedded sandstones of the facies association FA2 in the lower unit of the Kef Maiz and the Ain Ghanem sections, which were deposited in isolated narrow channels within the mud-dominated part of the depositional system and occasionally fed with turbiditic sand. The Paleodictyon ichnosubfacies occurs in thin- to medium-bedded sandstones (FA2) of the lower units in the Ain Ghanem and Kef Maiz sections and the lowest part of the upper unit of the Kef Maiz section, which were deposited in channel margin or foremost channel-to-levee-overbank areas. The Nereites ichnosubfacies is recorded in thin-bedded sandstones (FA2), which were deposited in crevasse-splays or small lobes on a basin floor invaded occasionally by turbidites against a background of pelagic and hemipelagic sedimentation.

The Oligocene (Rupelian) Byram Formation (Vicksburg Group) in Alabama, USA, is divided into three members, including (in ascending order) the Glendon Limestone, unnamed marl, and the Bucatunna Clay. The Oligocene marine units in Alabama have been historically under-investigated, but bulk samples recently obtained from Glendon Limestone Member exposures at site AWa-9 in Washington County yielded 20 unequivocal elasmobranch and teleost taxa. This surprisingly diverse paleofauna, based on isolated teeth, bones and otoliths, includes the new taxon, Gobiosoma? axsmithi sp. nov., as well as “Aetomylaeus” sp., Albula sp., Aplodinotus gemma Koken, 1888, Ariosoma nonsector Nolf and Stringer, 2003, Balistidae indet., Citharichthys sp., Myliobatoidei indet., Diretmus? sp., Hemipristis sp., Negaprion aff. N. gilmorei (Leriche, 1942), Pachyscyllium sp., Paralbula sp., Physogaleus sp., Preophidion meyeri (Koken, 1888), Sciaena pseudoradians (Dante and Frizzell in Frizzell and Dante, 1965), Sciaenops? sp., Sparus? elegantulus Koken, 1888, Sphyraena sp., and Syacium sp. Additional remains were recovered but could not be identified beyond undetermined Elasmobranchii or Teleostei. All these taxa represent first occurrences within the Glendon Limestone Member in Alabama, and the “Aetomylaeus” sp., Pachyscyllium sp., Paralbula sp., and Sciaenops? sp. specimens represent the first occurrences of each in the Oligocene of the Gulf Coastal Plain of the USA. We also report the first record of Oligocene Paralbula Blake, 1940 teeth, and the first occurrence of an Oligocene member of the Balistidae in the Western Hemisphere. This marine vertebrate assemblage indicates that the Glendon Limestone Member at site AWa-9 represented a subtropical to temperate, middle shelf paleoenvironment with a paleowater depth interpreted as 30–100 m.

The Campanian-Paleocene Jaworzynka Formation, a part of the Magura Nappe succession in the Polish Outer Carpathians, is described in terms of its detailed litho- and biostratigraphy. The formation stretches along the marginal part of the Siary Unit, from the Jaworzynka stratotype area in the Silesian Beskid Mts up to the Mszana Dolna area in the Beskid Wyspowy Mts. Its equivalent in the Moravskoslezské Beskydy Mts of the Czech Republic is the Soláň Formation. In the stratotype area, the formation displays complex structure. We distinguish four lithological units, i.e., Biotite Sandstone and Shale (I), Shale (II), Mutne Sandstone Member (III) and Thin-bedded Turbidite (IV) and provide the first detailed biostratigraphy of particular units. The first unit forms the most prominent part of the formation. It was deposited in the Middle Campanian-earliest Maastrichtian within the upper part of Caudammina gigantea Zone up to the lower part of the Rzehakina inclusa Zone. The second unit occurs only locally and its age is limited to the Maastrichtian, to the Rzehakina inclusa Zone. The third unit is composed of thick-bedded sandstones that in some parts may form more than the half of the total thickness of the formation. It is Late Maastrichtian-Danian in age and is placed in the upper part of the Rzehakina inclusa Zone and the lower part of the Rzehakina fissistomata Zone. It is usually covered by a thin package of thin-bedded turbiditic sandstone and shales of Danian-Thanetian age with foraminifera of the Rzehakina fissistomata Zone.

Balanomorph cirripedes from the Eocene–Oligocene of the Hampshire Basin (United Kingdom) and the Middle Eocene of the Cotentin Peninsula, Manche (France) are described. A new genus, Vectibalanus, is founded, with the type species Balanus unguiformis J. de C. Sowerby, 1846; assigned to this are also Balanus erisma J. de C. Sowerby, 1846 and Vectibalanus mortoni sp. nov. In addition, a new species of Lophobalanus Zullo, 1984, L. fresvillensis sp. nov., is described. This is the first record of that genus from outside the eastern USA and the oldest species known to date. Cladistic analysis of 24 morphological characters suggests that Vectibalanus unguiformis is sister taxon to a group comprising the most derived balanomorph taxa, and thus represents an important transition in the evolution of the group, with the initiation of development of a complex parietal wall structure. Vectibalanus unguiformis was evidently adapted to low salinity habitats (10-30 ppt), and is the oldest known brackish water barnacle. The other species (V. erisma, V. mortoni sp. nov.) occupied more clearly marine environments (>30 ppt). Balanomorph barnacles appeared simultaneously in the Priabonian (Upper Eocene) of the Gulf and Atlantic seaboards of the USA and northwest Europe, which probably represents a northerly migration from Tethys.

Lithological and palynological studies of Paleogene siliciclastic deposits from the Yantarny P-1 borehole located on the western coast of the Sambian Peninsula (Kaliningrad region, Russia) show that the succession is characterized by numerous sedimentary discontinuities related to lithification horizons and erosional surfaces. Sedimentary gaps are emphasised by hardgrounds. Palynological data suggest the Selandian-Priabonian age of the succession and indicate a number of significant stratigraphic gaps. An important change in heavy mineral composition is recognized between the Paleocene and Eocene deposits in the area studied. A significant number of reworked Cretaceous microfossils is observed in the Selandian part of the succession studied.

Early to Late Eocene bryozoans from the La Meseta Formation of Seymour Island were collected at two localities within the Cucullaea I Allomember (Telm4 and Telm5) on the northwestern side of the island and in two localities within the Submeseta Allomember (Telm6 and Telm7) on the northeastern side. This fauna is represented by cyclostomes of the suborders Tubuliporina and Cerioporina and suborders of Neocheilostomata, among which nine species have been recognized. The following new species are introduced: Micropora nordenskjoeldi sp. nov., Lunulites marambionis sp. nov., Otionellina antarctica sp. nov. and Otionellina eocenica sp. nov. Some other taxa recognized in the studied material, such as Reticrescis plicatus, Uharella seymourensis and Celleporaria mesetaensis, were previously described from the lowermost (Telm1) or uppermost parts (Telm6-7), thus their stratigraphical ranges within the La Meseta Formation are extended. The diverse growth-forms of the bryozoans include a sole ball-shaped celleporiform colony and reticulated and bilamellar-foliaceous colony, as well as rich encrusting and free-living forms (so-called sand faunas), indicating the existence of locally restricted shallow-marine environments. This is particularly true in the middle and upper parts of the La Meseta Formation (Telm4-7). Reticulated, spheroidal and robust, branched colonies, which thrived in the environmental conditions of the lower part (Telm1), are represented only by a sparse bryozoan biota in the upper part of the La Meseta Formation. Lunulitiforms, such as Lunulites and Otionellina which are warm water, free-living bryozoans, dominate in the siliciclastic sediments of Telm5, but erect folded sheets forming a shell bed composed of ?Goodonia occur in Telm6-7. These three genera are recognized in Antarctica for the first time. The austral genus Otionellina has its earliest fossil record here, showing close biogeographical links with the Late Eocene-Miocene faunas of Australia and New Zealand. The taxonomic composition of the studied fauna together with their growth forms is a very good tool for reconstructing palaeoenvironmental conditions in the middle and upper parts (Telm4-7) of the La Meseta Formation, deposited during the Late Ypresian-Priabonian.

During the Paleogene, the area of the northern Tethys was controlled by a turbidity system stimulated by diastrophic and geodynamic processes. These factors contributed to the dispersion and rapid oxygenation of organic debris. Its accumulation was a consequence of stagnant bottom water conditions that periodically occurred in the basin. In these periods, intense decomposition intensified by hydrothermal and diagenetic processes was associated with oxygen consumption and the release of greenhouse gases, which led to hypoxia and acidification. These phenomena intensified by thermal and density stratification had a major impact on the structure, evolution and distribution of biota. Stress associated with rapidly changing conditions induced by sedimentary process and upwelling resulted in the dominance of forms that colonized most sediments (Glomospira, Ammodiscus, Recurvoides, Rzehakina) and surface waters (Guembelitria, Chiloguembelina, Globanomalina, Globigerina, Cassigerinella, Catapsydrax). At the time, foraminifera were limited to low-diversified eutrophic assemblages or were mainly replaced by siliceous phytoplankton (radiolarians and diatoms). Geochemical data confirm that environmental crises in the Paleogene basin took place under changing thermal conditions that reflect global events (KTBE, PTME, EEOC and TTE). Thermal stress favouring the formation of certain minerals or rocks occasionally occurred during the Paleocene to Eocene (siderite, phosphates) and dominated in the Early Oligocene (silica).

The paper discusses the causes of climate change in the latest Cretaceous and the Paleogene (impact event or huge volcanic eruptions?). The climatic evolution (global and – more specifically – in the territory of Poland) during the Paleogene and Neogene in relation to the major climatic events of these periods (PETM, EECO, C4 grassland, Messinian Salinity Crisis) are described and their causes are discussed. Tectonic transformation, volcanic events and earthquakes led to the change in the position of the continents and in the circulation of ocean currents, as well as to increased emission of greenhouse gases – methane and carbon dioxide. These were the main causes of climate changes during the Paleogene and Neogene.

Na podstawie badań przeprowadzonych w obrębie trzech obszarów w Polsce przedstawiono charakterystykę i efekty analiz mikrotermometrycznych inkluzji, występujących w spoiwach i minerałach skał osadowych różnego wieku (od kambru przez perm po paleogen) oraz wypełnionych węglowodorami (HCFI). Inkluzje mają charakter pierwotny i wtórny. Są na ogół jedno- lub dwufazowe. Charakteryzuje je fluorescencja w barwach biało-niebieskich (ropa naftowa) lub niebieskawej (metan), niekiedy żółtej lub czerwonej. Na podstawie barwy świecenia wstępnie oszacowano charakter węglowodorów, które wypełniają te inkluzje i krążą w skałach z tego regionu. Temperatura homogenizacji, która stanowi przybliżenie temperatury zamknięcia fluidu w minerale, wykazuje zmienność związaną z historią geologiczną badanych obszarów. Inkluzje węglowodorów współwystępują w badanych rejonach z inkluzjami solankowymi. Połączenie wyników analiz mikrotermometrycznych inkluzji węglowodorowych z rezultatami badań inkluzji wodnych pozwoliło na szerszą interpretację wyników wszystkich oznaczeń w poszczególnych rejonach. Obecność węglowodorów w inkluzjach świadczy o ich występowaniu i/lub migracji w skałach badanych regionów.

EN

Characteristics and results of microthermometric studies of fluid inclusions which occur in the cements of sedimentary rocks of various ages (from Cambrian through Permian to Paleogene) and filled with hydrocarbons (HCFI) are presented. The inclusions are primary and secondary in origin. They display one or two phases and fluorescence in white-blue (oil) or dull blue (methane) colours, sometimes yellow or red. Based on the fluorescence colour in the ultraviolet light a character of hydrocarbons that fill these inclusions and migrate in the rocks of the region can be estimated. The inclusions are filled with palaeofluids of different compositions. The homogenization temperatures, which correspond to the minimum estimation of the trapping temperatures in minerals, show variability with respect to the geological history of the study area. The hydrocarbon inclusions are often accompanied by brine inclusions. Wider interpretation of all microthermometric analyses was enabled due to the combination of studies on hydrocarbon and aqueous inclusions. The presence of hydrocarbons in inclusions is a proof of their occurrence and/or migration in the rocks of the regions studied.

The Hoanh Bo Basin is a multiple period formed basin which is associated with the tectonic mechanism due to the activity of the Chi Linh-Hon Gai and Trung Luong Faults during the late Paleogene – early Neogene time. The basin is filled with continental sediments, comprising mainly polymictic conglomerates, sandstones, siltstones, claystones and shales. Coarser-grained polymictic deposits predominate along the northern and western margins of the basin, while different types of siltstones, claystones, even sandstones occur in its center, as well as along its southern and eastern parts toward the Ha Long Bay. The source rocks for sedimentary materials are mainly originated from rocks of the Hon Gai and Ha Coi Formations. Based on the dominant grain-size class, texture, stratification, degree of clast rounding and sorting, 17 lithofacies were determined in the Hoanh Bo Basin infill. The basin is filled by gravelly, sandy and fine-grained lithofacies just covers a modest area but it represents a full of succession of 4 depositional systems including alluvial fan, fluvial, deltaic and lacustrine environments. Alluvial fan and fluvial environments are characterized by an assemblage of lithofacies such as sand- and mud-supported disorganized breccias (Gb), clast- to sand-supported conglomerates (Gmm), clast-supported inverse-graded conglomerates (Gig), planar-cross-bedded conglomerates (Gp), trough cross-bedded conglomerates (Gt), horizontally stratified conglomerates (Gh), planar cross-bedded sandstones (Sp), trough cross-bedded sandstones (St), ripple cross-laminated sandstones (Sr), horizontally bedded sandstones (Sh), massive sandstones (Sm), massive mudstones, siltstones (Fsm), laminated siltstones and mudstones (Fl), massive claystones (Fm) and coaly lithofacies (C); the deltaic assemblage is dominated by planar-cross-bedded conglomerates (Gp), horizontally stratified conglomerates (Gh), planar cross-bedded sandstones (Sp), horizontally bedded sandstones (Sh), low-angle cross-bedded sandstones (Sl); while the lacustrine assemblage consists of ripple cross-laminated sandstones (Sr), horizontally bedded sandstones (Sh), normally graded sandstones (Sng), massive mudstones, siltstones (Fsm), laminated siltstones and mudstones (Fl), massive claystones (Fm) and coaly lithofacies (C).

Celem przeprowadzonych prac było rozpoznanie i zbadanie profilu osadów paleogenu i neogenu, ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem młodszego neogenu, w miejscowości Łęczyce koło Lęborka, gdzie w odsłonięciu w skarpie pradoliny Redy-Łeby stwierdzono występowanie utworów neogeńskich. Posadowiony u podstawy odsłonięcia otwór wiertniczy Łęczyce-Tr osiągnął głębokość 110,0 m p.p.t. i został zatrzymany w utworach formacji mosińskiej dolnej z dolnego oligocenu. Próbki pobrane z odsłonięcia i z rdzenia wiertniczego wykorzystano do badań laboratoryjnych składu ziarnowego (133 analizy), węglanowości osadów (122 analizy), składu minerałów ciężkich (41 próbek) i badań zespołów sporowo-pyłkowych i fitoplanktonu (39 próbek). W profilu otworu wiertniczego rozpoznano osady dolnego oligocenu i miocenu odpowiadające formacjom: mosińskiej dolnej, czempińskiej i mosińskiej górnej (dolny oligocen), gorzowskiej i krajeńskiej (dolny/ środkowy miocen) oraz adamowskiej (środkowy miocen). Stwierdzone w profilu odsłonięcia osady plioceńskie uznano za ekwiwalenty formacji poznańskiej i gozdnickiej. Przeprowadzono korelację stratygraficzną rozpoznanej sukcesji z profilami z obszarów sąsiadujących na terenie północno-wschodniej Polski oraz z Półwyspu Sambijskiego. Wyniki badań umożliwiły odtworzenie warunków sedymentacji osadów, prześledzenie następstwa zbiorowisk roślinnych i implikujących je zmian klimatu. Ze względu na zachowanie pełnego profilu osadów kenozoicznych i stwierdzenie występowania osadów plioceńskich (jedyne stanowisko w tym rejonie), profil z Łęczyc uznano za referencyjny dla Pomorza Wschodniego.

The reported study focused on a complex analysis of Paleogene–Neogene section located at Łęczyce near Lębork (Eastern Pomerania). The lower part of the section is represented by Lower Oligocene to Miocene deposits, drilled by the Łęczyce-Tr well to the depth of 110 m. Its upper part consists of the Late Neogene succession exposed in the slope of the Reda–Łeba palaeovalley just above the drill top. Both core and outcrop sections were sampled for analyses of grain size and composition (133 samples), carbonate content (122 samples), heavy mineral composition (41 samples), and spore-pollen and phytoplankton assemblages (39 samples). For the first time in the Eastern Pomerania, a succession of the standard Lower Oligocene to Pliocene formations has been identified in this section including the Oligocene to Miocene deposits represented by the Lower Mosina Fm., Czempin Fm., Upper Mosina Fm. (Lower Oligocene), Gorzów Fm. and Krajenka Fm. (Lower/ Middle Miocene) and Adamów Fm. (Middle Miocene). Outcrop of the Pliocene deposits (unique in the area), being an equivalent of the Poznań Fm., were described. All the distinguished units were correlated with corresponding sections from the north-eastern Poland and the Sambia Peninsula. The study results have enabled to reconstruct the sedimentary conditions and depositional environments, as well as the succession of floral communities that record the paleoclimatic changes. The Łęczyce section, comprising the Lower Oligocene to Pliocene deposits, is a representative section of the Paleogene–Neogene succession for the whole area of Eastern Pomerania.

Celem prac było rozpoznanie i zbadanie profilu osadów kenozoicznych na południowo-wschodnim obrzeżeniu niecki żytawskiej (ryft Ohrzy) u zbiegu granic Polski, Czech i Niemiec oraz określenie wieku skał osadowych i wulkanicznych związanych z wulkanizmem synsedymentacyjnym. Zlokalizowany w sąsiedztwie miejscowości Markocice otwór wiertniczy Opolno Zdrój PIG-1 osiągnął głębokość 200,0 m p.p.t. i został zatrzymany w utworach podłoża krystalicznego niecki żytawskiej; przewiercono nim cały profil serii osadowej wraz z wulkanitami. Próbki pobrane z rdzenia wiertniczego posłużyły do badań litologiczno-sedymentologicznych oraz laboratoryjnych, w tym do badań mineralogiczno-petrograficznych skał wulkanicznych i do oznaczenia wieku radiometrycznego metodą K-Ar (trzy próbki z rdzenia i jedna próbka referencyjna z odsłonięcia w sąsiedztwie otworu wiertniczego) oraz do badań zespołów sporowo-pyłkowych i fitoplanktonu obecnych w warstwie osadów węglistych nawierconej pod skałami wulkanicznymi (sześć próbek). Skały wulkaniczne datowano na 24,9–32,7 mln lat BP, a zatem utwory te mogły powstać nie później niż w późnym oligocenie. Wyniki badań palinologicznych nie pozwoliły na szczegółowe określenie wieku skał osadowych znajdujących się pod wulkanitami, jednak z superpozycji tych ostatnich wynika jednoznacznie, że są one starsze od górnego oligocenu, a zatem nie mogły powstać później niż we wczesnym oligocenie i stanowią zapewne ekwiwalent stratygraficzny formacji turoszowskiej. Wyniki badań przesuwają zatem początek sedymentacji utworów węglonośnych w niecce żytawskiej co najmniej do późnego paleogenu.

The aim of the study was to identify and examine the Cenozoic strata in the southeastern margin of the Zittau Basin (Ohře Rift) at the crossborder of Poland, Czech Republic and Germany, and to determine the age of the sedimentary and volcanic rocks related to synsedimentary volcanic events. The Opolno Zdrój PIG-1 borehole, located near the village of Markocice, reached a depth of 200.0 m b.g.l. and it was stopped in the crystalline basement of the Zittau Basin, piercing the whole sedimentary series together with the volcanites. A number of sedimentological and lithological studies and laboratory examinations have been performed on samples taken from drill cores. They included (1) a mineralogical/ petrographic study of volcanic rocks and absolute age determination using the K-Ar method (three samples from the borehole and one reference sample from a neraby outcrop) and (2) research of pollen-spore and phytoplankton assemblages from a layer of lignite-bearing sediments lying below the volcanic rocks (six samples). This work determined the age of the covering volcanic rocks at the 24.9– 32.7 million years BP, and therefore, the lignite-bearing rocks may have been deposited no later than the Late Oligocene. Although the results of palynological studies did not allow detailed determination of the age of the sedimentary rocks lying below the volcanites, but the superposition of the latter shows evidently that they are older than the Late Oligocene. They could not have been deposited later than in the Early Oligocene and are probably a stratigraphic equivalent of the Turoszów Formation. Thus, the results move the beginning of sedimentation of the coal-bearing layers in the basin Zittau Basin at least to the Late Paleogene.

Badawczy otwór wiertniczy w Wysokiej Wsi, zlokalizowany w centrum Wzgórz Dylewskich (NE Polska), osiągnął głębokość prawie 490 m, z czego na ponad 400 m przewiercono utwory paleogenu i neogenu. W wyniku badań palinologicznych 47 próbek wyróżniono 13 zespołów palinomorf (sporomorfy, fitoplankton i zoomorfy) i datowano osady. Stwierdzono dwu- i trzykrotne powtarzanie się podobnych zespołów palinomorf w paleogeńskim i neogeńskim odcinku profilu, co wskazuje na silne glacitektoniczne zaburzenie osadów. Udokumentowana w wyniku badań palinologicznych skomplikowana budowa geologiczna odnacza się kilkoma strefami odkłucia i przemieszczenia pakietów skalnych. Najniższy, paleogeński kompleks znajduje się w położeniu pierwotnym, datowano w nim zespoły pyłkowo-fitoplanktonowe: D3–D4 – środkowy paleocen, utwory górnego paleocenu w facji lądowej i D8 – dolny eocen. Na głębokości ok. 455 m występuje pierwsza powierzchnia nieciągłości, gdzie w osady paleogeńskie został wprasowany ponad 100-metrowej miąższości pakiet osadów środkowego miocenu z poziomami sporowo-pyłkowymi V, VI, VIII, IX, XI. Kolejną powierzchnię odkłucia stwierdzono na głębokości ok. 339 m. Na osadach mioceńskich ponownie występuje ok. 60-metrowej miąższości pakiet utworów paleogeńskich, stratygraficznie młodszych od leżących w spągu, datowanych na podstawie poziomów pyłkowo-fitoplanktonowych – górnoeoceński poziom D12 i wykształcone w facji lądowej utwory dolnego oligocenu. W te paleogeńskie osady jest wprasowana kilkumetrowej miąższości seria osadów mioceńskich reprezentująca poziom sporowo-pyłkowy IX. Na głębokości ok. 240 m znów pojawiają się osady środkowomioceńskie ok. 150-metrowej miąższości z poziomami sporowo-pyłkowymi V, VII i IX. Stwierdzone mozaikowe następstwo warstw odzwierciedla skomplikowane procesy glacitektoniczne, które doprowadziły do powstania łusek glacitektonicznych budujących jądro moreny spiętrzonej Wzgórz Dylewskich. W wyniku badań palinologicznych uzyskano unikatowe dane, pozwalające na lokalizację stref odkłuć glacitektonicznych. Brak osadów czwartorzędowych w jądrze moreny spiętrzonej wskazuje na wczesnoplejstoceński wiek deformacji.

The Wysoka Wieś borehole located in the center of Dylewskie Hills (NE Poland) reached a depth of almost 490 metres, with more than 400 metres of the Paleogene and the Neogene deposits. Palynological studies were designed to determine whether this huge Paleogene and Neogene sedimentary complex is located in situ or it has been glacitectonically redeposited. Forty-seven samples were analysed for all palynological matter components, i.e. palynomorphs (sporomorphs, phytoplankton, zoomorphs), palynoclasts (phytoclasts) and inorganic debris. Among the palynomorphs, 13 assemblages have been distinguished. Describing these assemblages from the bottom to the top of the section, dual or triple repetition of the same palynomorph zones indicates a strong glacitectonic deformation of the sediments. Palynological data evidence several disengagement zones and displacement of rock packages. The lowest sedimentary complex occurs in the primary position and it contains the pollen and phytoplankton assemblage D3–D4 of the Middle Paleocene to the Upper Paleocene (terrestrial facies), and the Lower Eocene assemblage D8. At a depth of ca. 455 m there is the first discontinuity zone, along which the over 100-metres thick package of Middle Miocene sediments, containing pollen zones V, VI, VIII, IX and XI, became intruded/ pressed into the Paleogene deposits. The next disengagement zone occurs at a depth of ca. 339 m, where the Miocene sediments are overlain by a about 60-metres thick package of Paleogene deposits dated with the stratigraphically younger pollen and phytoplankton zones D12 of the Upper Eocene and Lower Oligocene (terrestrial facies). These Paleogene deposits were intruded by the Miocene series, a few metres thick, representing pollen zone IX. Then, at a depth of 240 m, occurs the Middle Miocene sedimentary complex, ca. 150 m thick, with pollen zones V, VII and IX. The complicated glacitectonic processes caused such mosaic succession, reflecting the slice structure of glaciotectonic thrust moraines. Palynological studies provided unique data to define the glaciotectonic disengagement zones. The absence of Quaternary deposits in the internal moraine structure indicates the Early Pleistocene age of deformation.

Przedstawiono charakterystykę i wyniki mikrotermometrycznych badań inkluzji fluidalnych występujących w spoiwie skał osadowych wieku od kambru po perm oraz od jury po paleogen i miocen. Inkluzje mają charakter pierwotny i wtórny; na ogół są jedno- lub dwu-, rzadziej trójfazowe. Wypełniają je paleofluidy o zróżnicowanym składzie i różnej gęstości. Temperatura homogenizacji, która stanowi przybliżenie temperatury zamknięcia fluidu w minerale, wykazuje zmienność związaną z rodzajem spoiwa i z historią geologiczną badanego obszaru. Zasolenie fluidów również jest zmienne i zależy od rodzaju spoiwa i od lokalizacji. Połączenie analiz inkluzji np. z badaniami izotopowymi pozwala na szerszą interpretację wyników oznaczeń mikrotermometrycznych.

EN

Characteristics and results of microthermometric studies of fluid inclusions which occur in the cements of sedimentary rocks of the age oscillating form Cambrian to Permian and from Jurassic to Paleogene and Miocene are presented. The inclusions studied are primary and secondary in origin. They display one, two or, less frequently, three phases. The inclusions are filled by the paleofluids of variable compositions and densities. The homogenization temperature, which corresponds to the minimum estimation of the trapping temperature, shows variability in respect to the cement type and geological history of the study area. Salinities of fluids are also variable in respect to the cement type and locality. Wider interpretation of the microthermometric analyses is enabled when they are combined, e.g., with the isotopic studies.

The evolution of the Central Carpathian Paleogene Basin (CCPB) reflects an important role of relative sea level changes on a tectonically active basin margin. After the initial upper Lutetian/Bartonian transgression, the next regressive-transgressive cycle played a key role in a formation of the late Eocene fan delta facies associations in the southern Orava region of Northern Slovakia. Detailed sedimentary analysis allowed the separation of the following three facies associations which represent distinct depositional environments: alluvial fan (subaerial fan delta; Unit 1); subaqueous fan delta (Unit 2); and prodelta/slope and basin (Unit 3). The first stage of delta development is connected with eustatic sea level fall at the Bartonian/Priabonian boundary, accompanied by subaerial exposure, fluvial incision and deposition of alluvial fan sediments. Subaerial deposition was characterized by a variety of mass flow conglomerates with a red muddy matrix, interfingering with stream or sheetflood deposits. The next stage of the delta corresponds to high-amplitude transgression related to rapid tectonic subsidence along the CCPB margins during the Priabonian. The vertical arrangement of facies suggests retrograde delta development that shows rapid submergence of the subaerial parts and onlap of subaqueous mass flow conglomerates, often reworked by waves or wave-induced shallow-marine currents. Continuous deepening of the depositional environment during the late Priabonian/early Rupelian led to the relatively rapid superposition of prodelta/slope and basin facies associations by slowly accumulated hemipelagic deposis.

W 40 próbkach pochodzących z czterech formacji paleogeńskich (oligocen) i czterech formacji neogeńskich (miocen) zbadano standardowymi badaniami litopetrograficznymi węglanowość, obtoczenie materiału ziarnistego i skład minerałów ciężkich. Cechy te dobrze charakteryzują analizowane osady i mogą służyć do określania ich pozycji litostratygraficznej. Ma to szczególne znaczenie w badaniach stratygraficznych krótkich odcinków rdzeni wiertniczych, które są głównym materiałem badawczym analizowanych osadów na Niżu Polskim. Formacje morskie oligocenu charakteryzuje podwyższona węglanowość i średnie obtoczenie materiału ziarnistego. Formacje te różnicuje skład minerałów ciężkich. Formacje lądowe oligocenu i miocenu odznaczają się niską węglanowością, na ogół złym stopniem obtoczenia ziaren i znaczną wewnętrzną odmiennością składu i udziału minerałów ciężkich.

The most indicative qualities of four Paleogene formations (Oligocene) and four Neogene formations (Miocene), 40 samples of which have been the subject of the standard lithopetrographic analysis, prove to be carbonate content, grain roundness and composition of heavy minerals. Consequently, on the basis of these features, the lithostratigraphic position of the sediments may be determined, which is of high importance for stratigraphic examinations of short drill core intervals remaining the main research material of the analyzed deposits of the Polish Lowland. Oligocene marine formations are characterized by high carbonate content, medium grain roundness and varying composition of heavy minerals. As far as Oligocene and Miocene continental formations are concerned, low carbonate content and generally angular grains as well as significant differences in the heavy minerals’ composition and percentage may be observed.
