Herein are presented the results of detailed bio - (calcareous dinocysts, calpionellids, foraminifers, saccocomids) and chemostratigraphic (δ13C) studies combined with high-resolution microfacies, rock magnetic and gamma-ray spectrometry (GRS) investigations performed on the upper Kimmeridgian-upper Valanginian carbonates of the Giewont succession (Tatricum, Giewont and Mały Giewont sections, Western Tatra Mountains, Poland). The interval studied covers the contact between the Raptawicka Turnia Limestone (RTL) Fm. and the Wysoka Turnia Limestone (WTL) Fm. Their sedimentary sequence is composed of micrites, pseudonodular limestones, cyanoid packstones, lithoclastic packstone and encrinites. A precise correlation with the previously published Mały Giewont section is ensured by biostratigraphy, rock magnetic and GRS logs. The methodology adopted has enabled the recognition of two stratigraphic discontinuities, approximated here as corresponding to the latest Tithonian-early (late?) Berriasian and the early Valanginian. The hiatuses are evidenced by biostratigraphic data and the microfacies succession as well as by perturbations in isotopic compositions and rock magnetic logs; they are thought to result from a conjunction of tectonic activity and eustatic changes. A modified lithostratigraphic scheme for the Giewont and the Osobita High-Tatric successions is proposed. The top of the RTL Fm. falls in the upper Tithonian, where cyanoid packstones disappear. At the base of the WTL Fm. a new Giewont Member is defined as consisting of a basal lithoclastic packstone and following encrinites.

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).

Samples from the Upper Frasnian (Devonian) of Lompret Quarry and Nismes railway section in Dinant Synclinorium, southern Belgium, yielded several chondrichthyan teeth and scales. The teeth belong to three genera: Phoebodus, Cladodoides and Protacrodus. The comparison with selected Late Frasnian chondrichthyan assemblages from the seas between Laurussia and Gondwana revealed substantial local differences of taxonomic composition due to palaeoenvironmental conditions, such as depth, distance to submarine platforms, oxygenation of water, and possibly also temperature. The assemblage from Belgium, with its high frequency of phoebodonts, is the most similar to that from the Ryauzyak section, South Urals, Russia, and the Horse Spring section, Canning Basin, Australia.

Tithonian (= “Middle Volgian”) carbonate rocks are exposed in Owadów-Brzezinki quarry 19 km southeast of Tomaszów Ma-zowiecki, central Poland. In the upper part of the Sławno Limestone Member, chitinoidellids have been identified in thin sections from three samples, only. Therefore, the documented part of the Chitinoidella Zone in Owadów-Brzezinki quarry is about 0.3 m thick. The identified chitinoidellid taxa suggest that this assemblage represents the Upper Tithonian Boneti Subzone. The Chitinoidella Zone occurs at the top of Unit I and correlates with the uppermost interval of the Zarajskensis Horizon (Matyja, Wierzbowski, 2016). Other microfossils identified in the Chitinoidella Zone consist of Saccocoma sp. and benthic foraminifera of the genus Planularia. Calcareous dinoflagellate cysts (Cadosina semiradiata semiradiata Wanner and C. cf. semiradiata semiradiata Wanner) occur above the chitinoidellid assemblage, in the strata corresponding to the Gerassimovi Subzone of the Virgatus Zone (Matyja, Wierzbowski, 2016). Calcareous nannofossils are extremely rare in the thin sections studied; only one small specimen was seen, identified as Rhombolithion minutum (Rood et al., 1971) Young et Bown 2014. In contrast, microbial filaments are frequently observed in the studied thin sections. Their shape and pattern are reminiscent of some recent Cyanobacteria of the order Nostocales, however the Tithonian microbial filaments are much thinner.

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.

Well-preserved foraminiferids have been found in the Chmielnik-Grabówka section (Skole Nappe, Polish Carpathians). The Abathomphalus mayaroensis (late Maastrichtian) and Racemiguembelina fructicosa (earlylate Maastrichtian) standard planktonic foraminiferal biozones have been recognized, based on the occurrence of their respective index species. Sediments of the R. fructicosa Zone contain diatoms, which are a rare component of Cretaceous flysch microfossil assemblages in the Carpathians. The diatom frustules and some foraminiferid tests are pyritized, probably after burial in the sediment, below the redox boundary or in the oxygen-deficient microenvironment inside the frustules or tests of microfossils; the presence of trace fossils and bioturbational structures in the same bed indicate an oxygenated sea floor.

Górnojurajskie utwory formacji wapieni koralowcowo-glonowych ze Swarzowa, występujące w środkowej części przedgórza Karpat, w rejonie Dąbrowy Tarnowskiej–Szczucina, zawierają liczne makroskamieniałości (m.in. skleraktinie, mszywioły, ramienionogi, algi) oraz niezbyt liczne mikroskamieniałości. Niektóre mikroskamieniałości są interesującymi wskaźnikami biostratygraficznymi. Występujące sporadycznie w wyższej części tej formacji kalpionellidy (Calpionella alpina, C. aff. alpina, Crassicolaria cf. brevis, Tintinopsella cf. carpatica) wskazują na późnotytoński wiek tych osadów (zona Crassicollaria). Być może, do tytonu należy prawie cała formacja ze Swarzowa i najniższa część leżącej wyżej formacji wapienno-dolomitycznej, muszlowcowej ze Smęgorzowa. Wyższa część formacji ze Smęgorzowa może należeć już do kredy dolnej, do beriasu.

The Upper Jurassic coral-algal Swarzów Formation in the Dąbrowa Tarnowska–Szczucin area, occuring in the middle part of the Carpathian Foreland Poland contains rich macrofossils (i.e. scleractinian corals, bryozoans, brachiopods, algae) and generally sparse assemblages of microfossils. Some of the latter are interesting as a biostratigraphical tool. Thus, the presence of rare calpionellids (Calpionella alpina, C. aff. alpina, Crassicolaria cf. brevis, Tintinopsella cf. carpatica) argues for Late Tithonian age (standard Crassicollaria zone) of the upper part of this formation. It is suggested that the Swarzów Limestone Formation almost entirely represents the Tithonian, which probably reaches the lowest part of the lithostratigraphic unit of the Smęgorzów Limestone-Dolomitic Coquina Formation. The upper part of this unit may belong to the Lower Cretaceous, to Berriasian.

During the Early Cretaceous a central part of the Carpathian Foreland was situated in the Peri-Tethys area. That zone was located on the SW margin of the East European Craton and it was adjacent to the Tethys basins in the south. Impact of those both zoogeographic provinces (the Boreal Sea and the Tethys Ocean) is easily noticeable in assemblages of microfauna. Character of sedimentation in the Early Cretaceous basin of the Carpathian Foreland is connected mainly with changes of the sea-level as well as tectonic activity of this region. The stratigraphy and facies data are based on near two hundreds wells profiles. Detailed sedimentological profiles and photographic documentation of the Upper Jurassic and the Lower Cretaceous deposits from about 50 boreholes were done as well as micropalaeontological and microfacial studies of core samples. The presented work is an attempt of unification and formalization of lithostratigraphic units’ nomenclature. Two boreholes: Zagorzyce-7 andWiewiórka-4 were suggested as stratotype sections of distinguished formations. Jurassic–Cretaceous boundary is probably situated within limits of Ropczyce formation in this area. Three formations have been distinguished in the profile of Lower Cretaceous above Ropczyce formation: Zagorzyce limestone-marl formation (Berriasian age), Dębica marl and organodetritic limestone formation (Valanginian) andWiewiórka limestone formation (Late Valanginian-Hauterivian). The most marked erosion surface is recorded between Zagorzyce and Dębica formations. We suppose that hiatus including a large part of Lower Valanginian profile is connected with that erosion surface. It could be refered to a rapid fall of the sea-level in the Tethys Ocean, noticed inter alia in theWestern Carpathians and the Northern Calcareous Alps. The known existing thickness of the Lower Cretaceous sediments in the middle part of Carpathian Foreland (total of three formations: Zagorzyce fm., Dębica fm. andWiewiórka fm.) rises to 188 m in Zagorzyce-1 well.

Microfacies studies show that the Upper Jurassic-LowerCretaceousshaliow-water, carbonate sedimentsof the SE Poland are rich in microfossils that supply additional data for stratigraphical and paleoenvironmentai interpretation of formerly described subdivisions. Local equivalent of the European sponge megafacies (the Kraśnik Fm.) contains characteristic microfossils Globuligerina oxfordiana and Colomisphaera fibrata. Foraminiferal species Afoeoseptajaccardi, Labirynthina mirabilis andMesoendothyra izjumiana identified in the Upper Jurassic subdivisions (the Betżyce and Glowaczow formations) are known from Oxfordian-Kimmeridgian carbonate platforms of the Meditetranean Tethys. The transitional (Tithoman/Berriasian) characler of the peri-reefal Babczyn Fm. is documented by occurrence of foraminifera (Protopeneroplis ullragranulata, Monsalevia salevensis) and caicareous dinocysts (Carpistomiosphaera tithonica, Stomiosphaerina proxima). The ageof the siiiciclastic Cieszanów Fm. is based on theEarly Cretaceous foraminifera (Meandrospira bancilai, Pfenderina neocomiensis, Stomatostoecha condensa) and caicareous dinocysts (Carpistomiosphaera valanginiana, Colomisphaera conferta, Stomiosphaera wanneri).

Badania mikrofacjalne utworów górnej jury i dolnej kredy południowo-wschodniej Polski wykazały, że utwory te zawierają liczne mikroskamieniałości, w sposób znaczący uzupełniające interpretacje wiekowe i paleośrodowiskowe wydzieleń litofacjalnych. Lokalny odpowiednik europejskiej megafacji gąbkowej – formacja kraśnicka - zawiera charakterystyczne gatunki: Globuligerina oxfordiana i Colomisphaera fibrata. Stwierdzone w utworach górnej jury (formacje bełżycka i głowaczowska) gatunki Alveosepta jaccardi, Labirynthina mirabilis i Mesoendothyra izjumiana znane są z węglanowych utworów oksfordu i kimerydu śródziemnomorskiej Tetydy. Przejściowy (tyton/berias) charakter peri-rafowej formacji z Babczyna określa występowanie otwornic (Protopeneroplis ultragranulata, Monsalevia salevensis) i wapiennych dinocyst (Carpistomiosphaera tithnonica, Stomiosphaerina proxima). Wiek silikoklastycznej formacji z Cieszanowa wyznacza obecność wczesnokredowych otwornic (Meandrospira bancilai, Pfenderina neocomiensis, Stomatostoecha condensa) i wapiennych dinocyst (Carpistomiosphaera valanginiana, Colomisphaera conferta, Stomiosphaera wanneri).

During the micropalaentological studies of "quartzites" occurring near Tarczyn village (Kaczawskie Mts.), the poorly preserved relics of organic matter resembling flora filaments and skeleton fragments have been ascertained first time. The preliminary results of micropalaeontological determinations indicate, that metapsamites included in Tarczyn "quartzite" Unit are younger than Cambrian.
