During the past few decades genetic research has been developed in parallel with paleogenetics. A dynamic progress in this field of studies is possible due to the advance in laboratory and computer technologies. Today, scientists have the Next Generation Sequencing methods at their disposal, which enable them to read millions ofsequences at the same time, thus furthermore significantly reducing time needed for laboratory procedures. Concurrently, costs of analysis and equipment have been decreasing, which makes paleogenetical analyses widely available. They are commonly used in medicine, biotechnology, genetic engineering, food industry and forensics, as well as in life sciences like biology, paleobiology, archeology, geology and environmental protection sciences. This paper presents seda DNA (sedimentary ancient DNA) analyses and their use in Quaternary research, as well as describes sources of DNA in sediments and main processes contributing to its degradation or preservation.

The Triassic Fatricum basin studied in the Belanské Tatry Mts. (Slovakia) was a relatively stable and restricted platform area influenced by eustatic and climatic fluctuations. During the early Triassic the platform was influenced by continental clastic sedimentation intermittent with shallow marine transgressions when carbonate sediments formed. Common occurrence of carbonized plat debris suggests relatively humid climatic conditions dominating during this interval (Werfenian facies). Significant climate aridisation was concurrent with the beginning of the Middle Triassic transgression as indicated by evaporitic fabrics common within the entire Middle Triassic carbonate succession. The Middle Triassic has been divided into several lithofacies complexes reflecting the interplays between the eustatic and climatic fluctuations. The lower Middle Triassic complex (lower-middle Anisian?) displays dominance of calcareous sediments indicating free communication with the open ocean. The subsequent intervals are rather uniform facies assemblage composed by dolomites and evaporites formed in a restricted and stagnant basin. The basin has been strongly influenced by subtropical storms, particularly common in the late Anisian. Transgression pulse in the early Ladinian involved growth of microbial colonies building thrombolitic biostromes. Final shallowing by the end of Ladinian led to replacement of carbonate sediments by continental clastics of the Carpathian Keuper. These sediments, mostly of alluvial nature, comprise plant debris what suggests climate pluvialisation in Carnian times.

The paper focuses on paleoenvironmental reconstruction and sequence stratigraphy of the Tatricum Basin for the late Scythian-Ladinian interval. The reconstruction is based on observations carried out in the Kominiarski Wierch section, situated in the Polish part of the Tatra Mts. Sedimentological and geochemical studies indicate that during middle Triassic time the Tatricum Basin was situated upon an isolated and restricted carbonate platform dominated by shallow water carbonate and evaporitic sedimentation. The basin was a tectonically stable area controlled by eustatic fluctuations. Incipient tectonic movements first occurred in late Ladinian time only. The studied sedimentary succession is composed of several stacked, shallowing-upward cycles that are interpreted as 3rd order depositional sequences. The constructed sedimentary sequence framework corresponds well with the sequence stratigraphic scheme of the Northern Alpine Triassic and enables a better chronostratigraphic resolution of the Triassic in the Tatra Mts.

During Middle Triassic times, the Germanic or northern Peri-Tethys Basin pertained to the western Tethys Ocean. The basin was closed from the north and open toward the Tethys by tectonically controlled depressions (gates). The gates were opened in different times. The marine incursions broke first (as early as in late Scythian time) through the eastern gates and from the Polish Basin advanced gradually to the west. Semiclosed disposition of the basin resulted in its distinctive environmental diversification. Open marine environments developed along the southeastern margins which should be regarded as an integrate part of the Tethys Ocean rather than the epicontinental sea. Northward and westward from the Silesian and Carpathian domains the environments became more restricted. This resulted in significant facies diachronity between the western and eastern parts of the basin. As indicated by the faunal diversity, facies variability and geochemical properties of the sediments, during almost entire Anisian time the open marine sedimentation dominated in the eastern part while the western part displayed restricted circulation, typical for the semi-closed, evaporitic basin. The circulation reversed in Ladinian time when the westward shift of the tethyan spreading center gave rise to opening of the western gate. Meanwhile, the eastern and northern parts of the basin were uplifted and underwent emersion by the end of the Ladinian. Evolution of the southern parts of the Germanic Basin (Silesia, Holy Cross Mts., SW Germany) has been directly influenced by the Tethys rifts. The crustal motion was transmitted from the Tethys rift onto its northern periphery by reactivated Hercynian master faults. The Northern Germany and the North Sea basins were controlled by the North Atlantic-Arctic rift system. The central part of the basin was dominated by thermal subsidence. Despite of the intense synsedimentary tectonism affecting the basin, the distinguished 3rd order depositional sequences resulted from eustatic controls. The concordance between the tethyan and peritethyan sequence stratigraphy argues for the overregional, eustatic nature of the sequences. Faunal migration from the Tethys into its northern periphery followed generally the rift-controlled opening of the seaways within the Tethys. The first tethyan faunas which appeared in the south-eastern part of the Polish Basin as early as in Induan time came from the eastern branch of the Tethys Ocean (Paleo-Tethys). The next migration waves proceeded by western branches of the spreading ocean (Neo-Tethys) and entered the Germanic Basin through the Silesian-Moravian Gate (in Anisian time) and through the Western Gate from Ladinian time onward.

W czasie środkowego triasu basen germański należał do północnego obrzeżenia Oceanu Tetydy nazywanego północną Perytetydą. Taka pozycja paleogeograficzna wskazuje że basen germański należy traktować raczej jako integralną część zachodniej Tetydy niż jako typowy basen epikontynentalny. Bezpośrednie połączenie między obszarem germańskim a Tetydą utrzymywane było przez system tektonicznie generowanych obniżeń (bram) rozwiniętych w obrębie speneplenizowanego lądu windelicko-bohemskiego stanowiącego strukturalną barierę między otwartym oceanem i jego strefą peryferyjną. Przez większą część środkowego triasu basen germański wykazywał cechy basenu półzamkniętego o ograniczonej i jednokierunkowej cyrkulacji. Taki układ hydrologiczny powodował ewaporacyjny wzrost zasolenia wód basenu w miarę oddalania się od strefy dopływu wód oceanicznych. Znajduje to potwierdzenie w wyraźnym ubożeniu zespołów fauny zasiedlającej zbiornik jak i w zapisie izotopów stabilnych węgla i tlenu. Otwieranie bram miało charakter diachroniczny i postępowało ze wschodu na zachód. Najwcześniej, bo już w środkowej części wczesnego triasu otwarta była tzw. Brama Wschodniokarpacka. W anizyku głównym połączeniem była Brama Morawsko-Śląska a w ladynie Brama Zachodnia. Diachronizm w otwieraniu bram był pochodną migracji głównej strefy spreadingu tetydzkiego, która przemieszczała się ze wschodu na zachód. Wyróżnione dla basenu germańskiego sekwencje depozycyjne trzeciego rzędu wykazują dobrą korelację z sekwencjami z basenów alpejskich co pozwala stwierdzić, że cykle transgresywno-regresywne w basenie germańskim kontrolowane były głównie przez wahania eustatyczne. Subtropikalna pozycja paleogeograficzna północnej Perytetydy warunkowała jej gorący i półsuchy klimat. Okresowe zwilgotnienia w późnym ladynie i w karniku były pochodną przebudowy tektonicznej i intensywnej działalności wulkanicznej w obrębie Tetydy.
