Lowermost Triassic oolitic limestones occur in the Gorzów Wielkopolski IG 1 borehole as thin intercalations (mostly less than 1 m thick) within laminated or massive reddish brown mudstones or sandy mudstones of the Baltic and Pomerania formations of the Lowerand Middle Buntsandstein, respectively. In order to characterize the microfacies and diagenesis of the limestones, 46 thin sections from 44 core specimens were investigated. The limestone intercalations are poorly diversified in terms of microfacies, especially in the lower part of the section (Baltic Formation), where almost exclusively fine-grained, well-sorted ooid grainstones occur. The upper part of the section (Pomerania Formation) is more diverse. In addition to grainstones similar to those of the Baltic Formation, coarse-grained and/or poorly sorted ooid grainstones, subordinate stromatolites, oncoid grainstones, and mudstones are present. The limestones are almost completely devoid of bioclasts. The only organic remains present in the thin sections are single rounded plates composed of apatite (possibly fish scales) and, even rarer, snail shells and small shells of other organisms (bivalves?, ostracods?), now dissolved (probably originally aragonitic) and visible only due to the preserved coatings of micritic calcite cement previously precipitated on them. The diagenesis of these deposits has not been very intensive and involves mainly cementation by calcite and subordinately by anhydrite, recrystallization of some ooids and other grains (including carbonate bioclasts), and to alesser extent by dissolution under pressure.

The Middle Buntsandstein Subgroup of the Lower Triassic of north-eastern Poland has been investigated in the context of possible marine ingressions into the Central European Basin. To better constrain these, palynofacies analysis and mineralogical analysis of mudstones were undertaken on samples taken from the Lidzbark and Malbork formations penetrated by the Bartoszyce IG 1 borehole, serving as stratotype section of both lithostratigraphic units. Microfacies and geochemical analyses, including C and O isotope analysis, were conducted additionally on oolitic limestones of the basal Lidzbark Formation (the lowermost Middle Buntsandstein), and the boron content was measured on all mudstone samples. Seven palynofacies types are distinguished: types 1 to 3 within the Malbork Formation and types 4 to 7 within the Lidzbark Formation. Types 1 and 2 originated on a floodplain, type 3 probably in a deltaic or barrier setting, and types 4 and 5 in a brackish lagoon or a more open basin, possibly of marine origin. Palynofacies type 6 reflects long transport and reworking, whereas palynofacies type 7 is interpreted as formed due to pedogenic processes. Clay minerals and quartz, accompanied by feldspars, calcite and dolomite are the main components of the mudstones investigated. The clay mineral association consists of illite or a mixture of illite and smectite, and chlorite. The Lidzbark Formation and the lowermost part of the Malbork Formation show less variability in mineralogical composition than the upper part of the Malbork Formation. Smectite admixtures were detected only in the upper part of the Malbork Formation (the uppermost Middle Buntsandstein). The boron content, achieved after aqua regia digestion, ranges from 70 to 121 mg/kg (96 mg/kg at average), oscillating generally around 90 mg/kg. A higher boron content, bound in silicate structure, is associated with the upper part of the Malbork Formation. All major mineralogical and geochemical changes coincide more or less with the transition from the supposed marine to the terrestrial environmental realm, interpreted from lithological and sedimentological observations within the lowermost part of the Malbork Formation. However, diagenetic alteration of the clay minerals, and of the boron content, could not be ruled out. The oolitic limestones, mainly grainstones, contain admixtures of quartz grains and rare bioclasts, the ooids nuclei being peloids or unrecognizable. The carbonates are almost exclusively composed of low-Mg calcite. A high content of Mg and the presence of small amounts of dolomite suggest that the ooids were primarily composed of high-Mg calcite and are comparable with similar Early Triassic deposits in Tethyan settings. The δ13C values range from -2 to +1‰ VPDB, fitting well with the known ranges of Lower Triassic marine carbonates. An observed δ13C depletion towards the top of the oolite-bearing part of the section may reflect a local shallowing trend that led to overall salinity decrease. A possible connection with the one of the global oceanic geochemical episodes has to be tested further. The results obtained suggest a marine origin of the lower Middle Buntsandstein deposits studied and document a terrestrial origin for the upper Malbork Formation.

Despite years of research, Lower Triassic deposits of the epicontinental Central European Basin still lack a detailed stratigraphy that would allow regional correlation of isochronous horizons. The best chronostratigraphic results have up to now been achieved by microspore-based biostratigraphy and magnetostratigraphy. Integrated palynostratigraphic and magnetostratigraphic investigations, carried out on Buntsandstein cores from northeastern Poland representing the eastern margin of the basin, have made precise correlations with the better-explored basin centre. The Lidzbark and Malbork formations of the Bartoszyce IG 1 borehole were examined by means of palynology and palaeomagnetic studies. Further palaeomagnetic studies were applied to the Lidzbark, Malbork and Elbląg formations of the Nidzica IG 1 borehole and the Elbląg Fm. of the Pasłęk IG 1. Two spore-poll en assemblages were distinguished representing the Densoisporites nejburgii Subzone of the D. nejburgii Zone within the lower part of the Lidzbark Fm. and the lowermost part of the Malbork Fm. Mostly reversed polarity was detected within the lower part of the succession investigated, whereas normal polarity prevailed within its upper part. A normal polarity local zone was correlated with the undivided Tbn6-Tbn7 standard magnetozones of western Poland. The reversely polarized part of the succession corresponds most probably to the Tbr5 standard magnetozone. The base of the Tbn6-Tbn7 magnetozone can serve as a good correlation horizon for regional reconstructions.

New magnetostratigraphic data from the Middle Buntsandstein section, drilled in the Brześć Kujawski IG-1 borehole (Central Poland), are presented and discussed. The chronostratigraphic positions of particular formations of the Buntsandstein are discussed as well. The magnetic polarity pattern obtained from the Brześć Kujawski IG-1 borehole matches the pattern obtained earlier in other boreholes from the Polish part of the Central European Basin. Although magnetostratigraphy and palynological evidence undoubtedly indicates that the Induan/Olenekian boundary in the Polish part of the CEB is located in the lower part of the Pomerania Formation, the placement of the Olenekian/Anisian boundary within the sedimentary sequences of the Central European Basin remains problematic. This boundary most probably is located within the upper part of the Upper Buntsandstein, as can be inferred from palynological studies.

Reservoir and sealing properties of Lower Triassic sandstones from seven boreholes of the central part of the Koszalin-Zamość Synclinorium were investigated in terms of potential levels for underground storage of carbon dioxide. Extensive petrographic studies, image analysis, and investigations of petrophysical properties of rocks and pore space were carried out. The research shows that diagenetic processes both variously affected the intensity of alteration and variously shaped the pore space. Not only primary but also secondary porosity, resulting from diagenetic alteration and dissolution, is observed in the rocks. Microscopic observations revealed that the pore space in studied samples is dominated by macropores. The results obtained indicate a poor suitability of the Lower Triassic deposits for the purpose of carbon dioxide sequestration.

W pracy przedstawiono badania piaskowców triasu dolnego centralnej części synklinorium koszalińsko-zamojskiego pochodzących z siedmiu otworów wiertniczych, pod kątem ich właściwości kolektorsko-uszczelniających w aspekcie potencjalnych poziomów do podziemnego składowania dwutlenku węgla. Przeprowadzono szeroko zakrojone badania petrograficzne, analizę obrazu i badania właściwości petrofizycznych skał oraz przestrzeni porowej. W wyniku przeprowadzonych prac stwierdzono, że procesy diagenetyczne miały różny wpływ na intensywność zmian i w różny sposób kształtowały przestrzeń porową. W skałach zaobserwowano występowanie porowatości pierwotnej, a także wtórnej, powstałej na skutek przeobrażania i rozpuszczania diagenetycznego. Na podstawie obserwacji mikroskopowych uznano, że przestrzeń porowa w badanych próbkach jest zdominowana przez makropory. Wyniki badań wskazują na niewielką przydatność utworów triasu dolnego na potrzeby sekwestracji dwutlenku węgla.
