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.

The Upper Cretaceous of the Elbe Valley in Saxony and the erosion outliers west of it mark an Upper Cretaceous NW-SE-running strait between the Westsudetic Island in the NE and the Mid-European Island to the west. This street connected the NW-German-Polish Basin in the north and the Bohemian Cretaceous Basin (and adjacent regions of the Tethys) in the south. However, post-Cretaceous erosion north of Meißen removed any Upper Cretaceous deposits but erosion outliers at Siebenlehn and especially north of the Forest of Tharandt proof the presence of a marly through silty belt in this area. Three transgressions (base of uppermost Lower to Middle Cenomanian, base of Upper Cenomanian and base of the geslinianum Zone in the mid-Upper Cenomanian) have taken place. The sedimentation was influenced by the topography of the mentioned islands and by movements at structural lines in the Proterozoic and Palaeozoic basement. During the early Late Cenomanian, a marly-silty sedimentation (Mobschatz Formation) in the north existed besides sandy sedimentation in the south (Oberhäslich Formation). The transgression at the base of the geslinianum Zone caused the final submergence of island chains between Meißen, Dresden and Pirna, and a litho- and biofacies bound to cliffs and submarine swells formed. A silty-marly lithofacies, a mixed sandy-silty lithofacies (Dölzschen Formation) and a sandy lithofacies in the south (Sächsisches Elbsandsteingebirge) co-existed during the latest Cenomanian. The first mentioned biofacies yields a rich fauna mainly consisting of oysters, pectinids, rudists, and near-shore gastropods accompanied by echinids and, in some cliffs, teeth of sharks. The Pennrich fauna (Häntzschel 1933; Uhlig 1941) especially consists of the very common serpulids Pyrgopolon (P.) septemsulcata and Glomerula lombricus (formerly Hepteris septemsulcata and G. gordialis).

We report the discovery of lower jaws of Baculites (Ammonoidea) from the Upper Cretaceous U.S. Western Interior. In the lower Campanian Smoky Hill Chalk Member of the Niobrara Chalk of Kansas, most of the jaws occur as isolated elements. Based on their age, they probably belong to Baculites sp. (smooth). They conform to the description of rugaptychus, and are ornamented with coarse rugae on their ventral side. One specimen is preserved inside a small fecal pellet that was probably produced by a fish. Another specimen occurs inside in a crushed body chamber near the aperture and is probably in situ. Three small structures are present immediately behind the jaw and may represent the remains of the gills. In the lower Maastrichtian Pierre Shale of Wyoming, two specimens of Baculites grandis contain lower jaws inside their body chambers, and are probably in situ. In both specimens, the jaws are oriented at an acute angle to the long axis of the shell, with their anterior ends pointing toward the dorsum. One of the jaws is folded into a U-shape, which probably approximates the shape of the jaw during life. Based on the measurements of the jaws and the shape of the shell, the jaws could not have touched the sides of the shell even if they were splayed out, implying that they could not have effectively served as opercula. Instead, in combination with the upper jaws and radula, they constituted the buccal apparatus that collected and conveyed food to the esophagus.

Z otworów wiertniczych Trojanowice 2 i Cianowice 2 opracowano mikropaleontologicznie utwory miocenu, kredy górnej, jury górnej i stropu jury środkowej. Miocen (otwór Trojanowice 2) jest reprezentowany przez utwory ogniwa iłów spirialisowych formacji z Machowa z charakterystyczną Velapertina indigena (Łuczkowska) (późny baden) oraz przez warstwy skawińskie z Praeorbulina glomerosa (Blow) (wczesny baden). Utwory kredy górnej z uwagi na obecność w zespołach form zbliżonych do Stensioeina exculpta (Reuss) wiekowo odniesiono do późnej kredy. Utwory jury górnej zawierają trzy zróżnicowane gatunkowo zespoły mikroskamieniałości: 1 – z Protomarssonella jurassica (Mityanina) i Colomisphaera carpathica (Borza) (późny oksford), 2 – z Ophthalmidium strumosum (Gümbel) i Paalzowella turbinella (Gümbel) (?środkowy–wczesny oksford); 3 – Globuligerina oxfordiana Grigelis, Colomisphaera fibrata (Nagy) i Comittosphaera czestochowiensis Rehánek (wczesny oksford). Wapienie krynoidowe i piaskowce allochemiczne stropu jury środkowej zawierały ubogi zespół otwornic aglutynujących keloweju z Verneuilinoides minimus (Kosyreva), Protomarssonella osowiensis Bielecka et Styk i Dorothia insperata Bułynnikova. W utworach tych stwierdzono również obecność gatunku Bosniella croatica (Gušić) związanego z obszarami płytkowodnej sedymentacji węglanowej.

Miocene, Upper Cretaceous and Middle/Late Jurassic sediments from the Trojanowice 2 and Cianowice 2 boreholes were studied for microfossils. Miocene sediments (Trojanowice 2 borehole only) are represented by the “Spirialis Clays” member of the Machów Formation (Late Badenian) with Velapertina indigena (Łuczkowska), and by the Skawina Beds (Early Badenian) with Praeorbulina glomerosa (Blow). Upper Cretaceous (Senonian) sediments are documented by the occurrence of forms similar to Stensioeina exculpta (Reuss). Upper Jurassic sediments contain three different assemblages: 1 – with Protomarssonella jurassica (Mityanina) and Colomisphaera carpathica (Borza) (Late Oxfordian); 2 – with Ophthalmidium strumosum (Gümbel) and Paalzowella turbinella (Gümbel) (?Middle–Early Oxfordian); 3 – with Globuligerina oxfordiana Grigelis, Colomisphaera fibrata (Nagy) and Comittosphaera czestochowiensis Rehánek (Early Oxfordian). Crinoidal limestone and allochemic sandstone of the uppermost Middle Jurassic sediments containan impoverished assemblage of agglutinated foraminifers: Verneuilinoides minimus (Kosyreva), Protomarssonella osowiensis (Bielecka et Styk) and Dorothia insperata Bułynnikova. Additionally, a typical carbonate platform foraminifer Bosniella croatica (Gušić) is observed.

EN

Lepidenteron lewesiensis (Mantell, 1822) is an unbranched trace fossil lined with small fish scales and bones, without a constructed wall. It is characteristic of the Upper Cretaceous epicontinental, mostly marly sediments in Europe. In the Miechów Segment of the Szczecin-Miechów Synclinorium in southern Poland, it occurs in the Upper Campanian–Lower Maastrichtian deeper shelf sediments, which were deposited below wave base and are characterized by total bioturbation and a trace fossil assemblage comprising Planolites, Palaeophycus, Thalassinoides, Trichichnus, Phycosiphon, Zoophycos and Helicodromites that is typical of the transition from the distal Cruziana to the Zoophycos ichnofacies. L. lewesiensis was produced by a burrowing predator or scavenger of fishes. The tracemaker candidates could be eunicid polychaetes or anguillid fishes.

EN

The sponge fauna from the Upper Campanian.lowermost Maastrichtian succession of the Middle Vistula River valley (central Poland) is represented mainly by dictyid hexactinellid sponges (Hexactinosida and Lychniscosida). Their greatest abundance and taxonomic variability is noted in the "Inoceramus" inkermanensis Zone (Upper Campanian), and they are less diverse in the overlying (Upper Campanian) Trochoceramus costaecus Zone and lower "Inoceramus" redbirdensis Zone. In the upper "Inoceramus" redbirdensis Zone (basal Maastrichtian in the sense of the Tercis rather than the Boreal definition) they are extremely rare. With the beginning of the Maastrichtian the number of dictyid sponges gradually increases. The observed changes in the abundance and taxonomic variability of the dictyid sponges indicate environmental changes in the latest Campanian.earliest Maastrichtian sea in the area. It seems that changes in basin bathymetry, confined to eustatic sea-level changes in the latest Campanian and early Maastrichtian, were the most important factor. Progressive shallowing of the basin in the latest Campanian drastically restricted the development of dictyids. In the peak regression, the sea level could have fallen to only several tens of metres. The gradual recovery of the sponge assemblages correlates with subsequent deepening of the basin with the start of the Maastrichtian.

Results of detailed multistratigraphic analyses of the Campanian.Maastrichtian boundary section at Kronsmoor in northern Germany are summarised and calibrated with the GSSP at Tercis les Bains, southwest France. Additional markers for the definition of the boundary in the Boreal Realm are proposed, and a detailed carbon isotope curve around the Campanian.Maastrichtian boundary in the chalk facies of the Boreal epicontinental sea is presented. The C isotopic GSSP marker for global correlation is the markedly abrupt decrease of c. 0.7 [per mil] [delta^13]C directly at the Campanian.Maastrichtian boundary as dated by ammonites. In electronic borehole measurements the Kronsmoor section covers the SP peaks 53 to 64 and the base of the Maastrichtian being situated just below SP peak 60. The first occurrence (FO) of the ammonite Pachydiscus neubergicus, which corresponds to biohorizon 1 at Tercis, falls in the upper part of nannofossil Zone UC15, at both localities. Biohorizon 3 is the FO of the ammonite Diplomoceras cylindraceum, which first appears in the Upper Campanian of Tercis and at Kronsmoor enters significantly above the FO of Belemnella lanceolata, the conventional Boreal belemnite marker for the base of the Maastrichtian Stage. Based on ammonite evidence, the internationally accepted base of the Maastrichtian at Kronsmoor is located between the FOs of Diplomoceras cylindraceum (Upper Campanian) and Pachydiscus neubergicus (Lower Maastrichtian) c. 11 m above flint layer F 600, at which the first representatives of the belemnite genus Belemnella, in particular Bn. lanceolata occur. The latter thus is a Late Campanian species, appearing c. 450 ky prior to the ammonite-based boundary. The FOs of Belemnella pseudobtusa (sensu Schulz) resp. Belemnella obtusa (sensu Remin) directly at the boundary can be use as the coleoid proxy for the definition of the base of the Maastrichtian in the Boreal Realm. To define the boundary by benthic foraminifera the last occurrence (LO) of Neoflabellina praereticulata is suitable. Biohorizon 12, as defined at Tercis, involves the nannofossil Uniplanarius trifidus, however, at Kronsmoor this species is rare, occurs only sporadically and also significantly lower in comparison to Tercis. It is possible though to compare and correlate nannofossil events between Kronsmoor and Tercis using cosmopolitan taxa such as Broinsonia parca constricta and Eiffellithus eximius. The LO of the latter appears to be situated just above the boundary in both sections; it follows from this that the top of nannofossil Zone UC15 is of Early Maastrichtian age.

Seven species of the acanthoceratoidean genera Forbesiceras Kossmat, 1897, Mantelliceras Hyatt, 1903, Acanthoceras Neumayr, 1875 and Cunningtoniceras Collignon, 1937 are described and illustrated from the upper (i.e., Cenomanian) part of the Aitamir Formation of the Koppeh Dagh, northeast Iran. The mantelliceratines were collected from Lower Cenomanian silty shales while the rest of the fauna stems from lower Middle Cenomanian glauconitic sandstones in the upper part of the formation. The ammonite association allows recognition of the lower Lower Cenomanian Mantelliceras mantelli and the lower Middle Cenomanian Acanthoceras rhotomagense zones. The upper Lower Cenomanian M. dixoni Zone is not proven by its index but is most likely represented by a unit of fossil-poor shales intercalated between the two above-mentioned zones. The lowermost Middle Cenomanian Cunningtoniceras inerme Zone, however, is potentially at least partly missing due to a major sea-level fall and lowstand in the latest Early to earliest Middle Cenomanian. A preliminary sequence stratigraphic interpretation of the successions suggests the presence of Lower Cenomanian sequence boundaries Sb Ce 1-3. The Aitamir Formation is truncated along a major regional unconformity at the base of the overlying Abderaz Formation (Turonian.Coniacian). The Upper Cenomanian and most likely also (parts of) the Lower Turonian are missing. This major unconformity has a tectonic origin as it deviates from the eustatic sea-level trend which was very high at this time. Furthermore, contemporaneous tectonic unconformities are also known from Central Iran and may have their origins in rotational movements of the Central-East Iranian Microcontinent.

Praca jest podsumowaniem wieloletnich badań autora prowadzonych nad stratygrafią, litologią i paleogeografią kredy górnej Niżu Polskiego. W wyniku syntezy danych z 1018 otworów wiertniczych skonstruowano 6 map litofacjalno-paleogeograficznych, odpowiadających wydzielonym dla basenu późnej kredy na obszarze Niżu Polskiego cyklom transgresywno-regresywnym: K3-II–K3-III (wczesny cenoman–starszy późny cenoman), K3-IV (najmłodszy cenoman–środkowy turon), K4-I (późny turon–koniak), K4-II (santon–najstarszy kampan), K4-III (młodszy wczesny kampan–najstarszy mastrycht) i K4-IV–K4-V (młodszy wczesny mastrycht–późny mastrycht). Na mapach zastosowano jakościowe rekonstrukcje litofacjalne, ze wskazaniem na dominujący składnik litologiczny oraz składniki litologiczne towarzyszące. Wydzielono dziewięć kategorii litofacjalnych, odpowiadających określonym środowiskom i systemom depozycyjnym. Są to litofacje: kredy piszącej, węglanowa (wapienna), węglanowo-krzemionkowa, marglista, ilasto-marglista, mułowcowo-marglista, mułowcowo-piaszczysto-marglista, węglanowo piaszczysta i piaszczysta. W ramach prac nad prezentowaną w artykule wersją map, autor dokonał też kompleksowej analizy materiałów z wierceń Niżu Polskiego, uwzględniając przede wszystkim profilowania geofizyki wiertniczej. Niektóre profile wierceń zostały zweryfikowane i ponownie zinterpretowane. W szczególności, akcent położono na analizę poziomów twardych den, przerw sedymentacyjnych i wszelkich przejawów cykliczności sedymentacji. Umożliwiło to, w kilku przypadkach, logiczne korelacje odpowiadających sobie kompleksów litologicznych, które wcześniej stwarzały problemy interpretacyjne i były niewłaściwie skorelowane. Scharakteryzowano ogólne następstwo litofacji w basenie, zaprezentowano uwagi o subsydencji i batymetrii basenu oraz przedyskutowano pokrótce problem inwersji tektonicznej bruzdy śródpolskiej. Przedstawiona także została historia rozwoju litofacjalnego basenu późnej kredy.

The report is a general overview of the author’s many-year studies on the Late Cretaceous stratigraphy, lithology and paleogeography of the Polish Lowlands. Six lithofacies maps are presented for individual transgressive-regressive cycles in the Late Cretaceous of the Polish Basin: K3-II–K3-III (Early–early Late Cenomanian), K3-IV (latest Cenomanian–Middle Turonian), K4-I (Late Turonian–Coniacian), K4-II (Santonian–earliest Campanian), K4-III (late Early Campanian–earliest Maastrichtian), K4-IV–K4-V (late Early–Late Maastrichtian). The maps were constructed using qualitative lithofacies reconstructions with the dominant lithofacies component and accessory components indicated. Nine lithofacies types, corresponding to specific sedimentary environments and depositional systems, have been identified within the Upper Cretaceous succession of the Polish Lowlands: chalk, carbonate, carbonate-siliceous, marl, claystone-marl, mudstone (siltstone)-marl, mudstone-sandstone-marl, sandy-carbonate and sandstone lithofacies. The present version of the maps is based on an integrated analysis of drilling materials, mainly wireline logs. Lithology and stratigraphy in some boreholes were verified and reinterpreted by the author. In particular, special emphasis was laid on analysing hardgrounds, sedimentary breaks and any signs of sedimentary cyclicity. It enabled logical correlations between corresponding lithological complexes, which were previously incorrectly correlated. General succession of lithofacies in the basin is characterised, remarks on its subsidence and bathymetry are presented and a brief discussion of the problem of Late Cretaceous tectonic inversion of the Mid-Polish Trough is given. The report also presents the history of lithofacies evolution in the Late Cretaceous basin.

An integrated account of a candidate composite Global Boundary Stratotype Section and Point for the base of the Coniacian Stage, comprising the Salzgitter-Salder Quarry section (Lower Saxony, Germany) and the Słupia Nadbrzeżna river cliff section (central Poland), is provided. Documented are all the main biostratigraphically significant macrofossil and microfossil groups: ammonites, bivalves (inoceramids and the genus Didymotis), planktonic foraminifera and calcareous nannoplankton. also provided are correlations based on stable carbon isotope curves. The base of the Coniacian is defined by the first occurrence (FO) of the inoceramid bivalve Cremnoceramus deformis erectus (Meek, 1876), a cladogenetic successor of the C. waltersdorfensis (Andert, 1911) lineage. This event is well above the first appearance of the classic ammonite marker of this boundary, Forresteria petrocoriensis (Coquand, 1859), which is first noted high in the Upper Turonian Mytiloides scupini inoceramid bivalve zone at Słupia Nadbrzeżna. The boundary at Salzgitter-Salder cannot be precisely defined by means of ammonites; however, there is an apparent local change in one scaphitid lineage a short distance below the boundary. In calcareous nannofossil terms, the boundary falls within the interval between the first occurrence of Broinsonia parca parca and the last occurrence (LO) of Helicolithus turonicus. at present, no planktonic species found in both sections can be used as a close proxy for the base of the Coniacian, as defined by the inoceramid bivalve marker. In terms of carbon stable isotopes, the Turonian Coniacian Boundary lies in the inflection point from falling to rising [delta^13]C values. a comparison of the Salzgitter-Salder and Słupia Nadbrzeżna carbon isotope curves indicates a hiatus at the former locality. The base of the Coniacian in the Salzgitter-Salder section is marked by a flood occurrence of Cremnoceramus deformis erectus, constituting the deformis erectus I event. The boundary interval at Słupia Nadbrzeżna is expanded: here the first occurrence of C. deformis erectus is separated from both the terminal Turonian C. waltersdorfensis waltersdorfensis event and the C. deformis erectus I event, also indicating the existence of a hiatus at the boundary in the Salzgitter-Salder section. In view of this hiatus at the critical level, it is proposed that the two sections should constitute a candidate composite Coniacian GSSP.

Charakterystykę geochemiczną poziomów potencjalnie macierzystych utworów fliszowych jednostek alochtonicznych wschodniej części polskich Karpat Zewnętrznych wykonano dla dolnokredowych warstw wierzowskich, lgockich i spaskich, górnokredowych warstw istebniańskich i inoceramowych oraz oligoceńskich warstw menilitowych. W analizie wykorzystano wyniki badań geochemicznych 875 próbek skał z profili 11 odwiertów i 48 odsłonięć w polskiej i przygranicznej ukraińskiej części Karpat Zewnętrznych. Wyniki badań geochemicznych potwierdzają, że warstwy menilitowe są najlepszymi skałami macierzystymi. Ropotwórczy kerogen II typu jest generalnie niedojrzały lub dojrzały w fazie wczesnej "okna ropnego". Parametry kinetyczne kerogenu warstw menilitowych są zbliżone w jednostkach śląskiej i skolskiej oraz wyraźnie niższe w jednostce borysławsko-pokuckiej. Pozostałe analizowane kredowe wydzielenia litostratygraficzne lokalnie spełniają ilościowe kryterium macierzystości i mogą uzupełniać bilans węglowodorowy utworów fliszowych Karpat.

Potential source rock horizons of the flysch cover were geochemically characterized in the eastern border area of the Polish flysch Carpathians: Lower Cretaceous Verovice, Lgota and Spas Beds, Upper Cretaceous Istebna and Inoceramian Beds as well as Oligocene Menilite Beds. The results of geochemical analyses of 875 rock samples collected from 11 boreholes and 48 outcrops in the Polish Outer Carpathians as well as from the adjacent Ukrainian were analyzed. The results indicate that Menilite Beds are the best source rocks of the Carpathian flysch cover in all analyzed tectonic units. The oil-prone Type II kerogen, deposited in marine environment of regular salinity, was proved to be usually immature or mature at an early stage of "oil window". Kinetic parameters of organic matter dispersed in the Menilite Beds, calculated based on organic sulphur content, are similar for the Silesian and Skole units and significantly lower in the Boryslav-Pokuttya Unit. The remaining lithostratigraphic divisions: Verovice, Lgota, Spas, Istebna and Inoceramian Beds, locally meet the source-rock requirements and can supplement the hydrocarbon balance of the Carpathians.

Phosphatized sponges from the Santonian of the Wielkanoc Quarry are represented by 11 species of Hexactinosida and 16 species of Lychniscosida. Their species composition is most similar to the Micraster coranguinum Zone fauna (Middle Coniacian - Middle Santonian) of England. Three preservational groups of sponges are distinguished: 'white', 'beige' and 'dark'. They are infilled by phosphatized foraminiferal/foraminiferal-calcisphere wackestone and are contained in the marly calcareous inoceramid packstone. The sponges indicate a calm and relatively deep (> 100 m) life environment. After burial, phosphatization and exhumation, the fossil sponges were redeposited in Upper Santonian strata. The 'white' and 'beige' groups were transported laterally over a very short distance or represent lag deposits. The rolled and crushed sponges of the 'dark' group were exhumed and phosphatized more than once. They could be redeposited (reworked) nearly in the same place and/or transported from some longer distances (but not from outside the Cracow Swell). The phosphatized sponges document the former presence in the area of part of theMiddle Coniacian through Middle Santonian succession, which was removed secondarily by subsequent erosion.

W budowie geologicznej terenu, który rozciąga się wzdłuż doliny Skawy pomiędzy Suchą Beskidzką a Świnną Porębą, biorą udział górnokredowe i paleogeńskie utwory płaszczowiny śląskiej i płaszczowiny magurskiej. Serię śląską tworzą tu środkowe i górne warstwy godulskie, warstwy istebniańskie, pstre łupki eoceńskie i piaskowce ciężkowickie oraz warstwy hieroglifowe, menilitowe i krośnieńskie. W tych ostatnich zaobserwowano spływy typu derbis-flow z otoczakami skał egzotycznych i wielkimi olistolitami. Płaszczowina magurska jest zbudowana z sukcesji osadowej typowej dla tzw. podjednostki Siar. Autorzy zaproponowali dla jej jednostek litostratygraficznych formalizację nazw. Zgodnie z zaproponowaną formalizacją w jej sukcesji osadowej wyróżnia się formację z Jaworzynki (warstwy ropianieckie) z ogniwami łupków z Gołyni i piaskowców z Mutnego w paleoceńskiej części profilu, formację z Łabowej z ogniwami piaskowców z Żurawnicy i ze Skawiec, formację beloweską oraz formację makowską z ogniwem łupków zembrzyckich, piaskowców wątkowskich i łupków budzowskich. Utwory płaszczowin śląskiej i magurskiej są sfałdowane, a w płaszczowinie magurskiej można wyróżnić kilka łusek i podłużnych zluźnień. Utwory obu tych jednostek pocięte są systemem uskoków poprzecznych, a u czoła nasunięcia płaszczowiny magurskiej część dyslokacji jest przejęta od płaszczowiny śląskiej. Płaszczowina ta posiada swój niezależny system uskoków.

Upper Cretaceous and Paleogene rocks of the Silesian and Magura Nappes build up the complex structure of the investigated area, which is stretching along the Skawa River valley between Sucha Beskidzka and Świnna Poręba. Middle and Upper Godula Beds, Istebna Beds, Eocene red shales and Ciężkowice Sandstone as well as Hieroglyphic, Menilite and Krosno Beds form the Silesian Succession. The debris-flow deposits with exotic rocks pebbles and large olistolites were observed within the Krosno Beds. The sedimentary succession is typical for the Siary sub-unit from the Magura Nappe. The present authors proposed the formal lithostratigraphic names for this unit. According to this formalization the following lithostratigraphic units have been distinguished within the Siary succession: Jaworzynka Formation (Ropianka Beds) with Gołynia Shale member and Mutne Sandstone Member within the Paleocene part of profile, Łabowa Formation with the Żurawnica Sandstone Member, the Skawce Sandstone Member, Beloveza Formation, and Maków Beskid Formation with Zembrzyce Shale Member, Wątkowa Sandstone Member and Budzów Shale Member. The Silesian and Magura Nappes rocks are strongly folded; within the Magura Nappes several scales and longitudinal shear zones have been distinguished. The formations of both units are cut by the transversal fault systems of The Magura Nappe has the independent fault systems, some of its dislocations have been acquired, however, from the Silesian Nappe.

The quality of material used for cement production, which comes from a Cretaceous marl bed "Folwark" in the Opole Cretaceous basin in the west part of the Upper Silesia, Poland is discussed in the paper. Lateral variability of reservoir parameters within the lithostratigraphic series was analyzed with statistical and geostatic methods. Various interpolation methods were used for mapping, and an optimum interpolation method was selected. Variability of qualitative parameters (% content of CaO, MgO, Si02, Al203 and Fe203) and thickness of beds in the studied reservoir were analyzed. A chemical and mineral analysis of petrographic types of reservoir rocks was made. The CaO content, being the main parameter of technological evaluation of a mineral, varied from 21.10 to 52.02%, average 35.72%. The results of analysis revealed that this parameter had the least variability. The top series 6 had the greatest variability (Tab. 1). It follows from the geostatistical methods that a non-random factor had an influence on the variability of parameters. The Gaussian theoretical model turned out to best describe the empirical distribution of reservoir parameters variability. Directional semivariograms revealed anisotropy of deposit. The following petrographic variation were found in the deposit: marl limestones, marl limestones with increased CaO content, marls with increased Si02 content, clayey marls, clayey marls with increased SI02 content and marl clays. Formation of these variations in the deposit "Folwark" depended on the share of silica components of orogenic and allogenic origin during sedimentation processes. Therefore, petrographic types of reservoir rocks differ mainly in depth and temperature in the sedimentation basin. The quality of the exploited parts of deposit depends on the share of specific lithostratigraphic series in the exploited level.

Scharakteryzowano jakość surowca do produkcji cementu ze złoża margli kredowych "Folwark" zlokalizowanego w obrębie kredowej niecki opolskiej - zachodnia część Górnego Śląska (Polska). Dokonano za pomocą metod statystycznych i geostatystycznych, charakterystyki zmienności lateralnej parametrów jakości w złożu oraz w obrębie wydzielonych w nim serii litostratygraficznych. Wykreślono mapy zmienności parametrów jakości różnymi metodami interpolacyjnymi oraz wyznaczono optymalną metodę interpolacyjną. Wyznaczono trendy zmian parametrów jakości (zaw. % CaO i MgO oraz Si02, AI203 i Fe203) a także miąższości w analizowanym złożu. Scharakteryzowano pod względem chemicznym i mineralogicznym odmiany petrograficzne skał złożowych. Wykazano, że w obrębie serii złożowej zawartość % CaO , najważniejszego z parametrów oceny przydatności technologicznej surowca, zmienia się w przedziale 21, l 0-52,02% śr. 35,72%. Parametr ten charakteryzuje się, zgodnie z wynikami analizy statystycznej, najmniejszą zmiennością w stosunku do pozostałych. Spośród serii litostratygraficznych natomiast największe zróżnicowanie wykazuje seria stropowa (6). Zastosowanie metod geostatystycznych pozwoliło wykazać, że w większości przypadków wpływ na zmienność parametrów złożowych ma także czynnik nielosowy. Stwierdzono również, że najczęściej empiryczny rozkład zróżnicowania wartości parametrów złożowych opisuje teoretyczny model gaussowski. Sporządzone semiwariogramy kierunkowe wykazały anizotropię złoża. W złożu wydzielono następujące odmiany petrograficzne skał: wapienie margliste, wapienie margliste o podwyższonej zaw. % CaO, margle, margle o podwyższonej zaw. % Si02, margle ilaste, margle ilaste o podwyższonej zaw. %Si02 oraz iłowce margliste. Tworzenie się tych odmian w złożu Folwark uzależnione było od udziału, w czasie sedymentacji, składników krzemionkowych i to zarówno pochodzenia organogenicznego jak i allogenicznego. Odmiany petrograficzne skał złożowych różnią się zatem warunkami powstawania, szczególnie głębokością i temperaturą panującą w zbiorniku sedymentacyjnym. Jakość eksploatowanych partii złoża uzależniona będzie od udziału poszczególnych serii litostratygraficznych w obrębie poziomu eksploatacyjnego.

Eight proposed Cretaceous geosite candidates, from the area of Central and Eastern Poland, are shortly characterized. They include: waterfalls on the Szum, Sopot, Jeleń, and Tanew rivers, exposures of Albian sandstones near Nagórzyce, Dobromierz brachyanti-cline, Opoczka quarries, Janików quarries, and abandoned quarries of Piotrawin, Kazimierz, Bochotnica, and Nasiłów. Five latter exposures, located along the middle section of the Vistula river, give an access to the famous middle Vistula section, representing a key section to the Upper Cretaceous succession in this part of Europe, being a site of an outstanding scientific importance. Of high scientific value are also other of the proposed sites. The waterfalls on the Tanew river represent, moreover, a unique landscape, which may also be of a great interest due to recreation and tourist reasons.

Scharakteryzowano osiem wybranych stanowisk przyrody nieożywionej w utworach kredy z obszaru Polski środkowej i wschodniej. Wśród proponowanych obiektów znalazły się: progi kredowe na rzekach Szum, Sopot, Jeleń i Tanew, odsłonięcie piaskowców albskich koło Nagórzyc, brachyantyklina Dobromierza, kamieniołomy w Opoczce, kamieniołomy w Janikowie oraz odsłonięcia w Piotrawinie, Kazimierzu Dolnym, Bochotnicy i w Nasiłowie. Pięć ostatnich wymienionych odsłonięć znajduje się na obszarze tzw. górnokredowego profilu środkowej Wisły, dostarczającego standardowego profilu kredy górnej w tej części Europy. Jest to obszar o wyjątkowym znaczeniu w badaniach facjalnych, stratygraficznych oraz paleontologicznych górnej kredy. W skali regionu istotne są oczywiście również i pozostałe proponowane miejsca. Progi wodospadowe na rzece Tanew reprezentują ponadto unikalną formę krajobrazową w tej części kraju i mają duże znaczenie jako obiekt turystyczno-rekreacyjny.
