This paper presents geochemical data for 171 core samples of the Carboniferous coal-bearing series and the Miocene cove from the central part of the Upper Silesian Coal Basin. Major oxide concentrations (Al2O3, SiO2, Fe2O3, P2O5, K2O, MgO, CaO, Na2O, K2O, MnO, TiO2, and Cr2O3) were obtained using XRF. Trace and major elements (Mo, Cu, Pb, Zn, Ni, Co, U, Cr, V, Mn, As, Th, Sr, Cd, Sb, Bi, Ba, Ti, W, Zr, Ce, Nb, Ta, Be Sc) were analysed ICP-MS. The main goals of this study were to demonstrate the distribution, as well as the stratigraphical variability, of the selected elements and to determine whether chemostratigraphy tools could be effectively applied to analyze Carboniferous and Miocene deposits of the USCB. Geochemical studies have shown showed different geochemical features of the samples from the Carboniferous and the Miocene. The diversity is mainly expressed in the enrichment of Miocene sediments in Ca and Sr related to biogenic carbonate material. It was also stated that the concentrations of trace elements associated with the detrital fraction, such as Zn, Cr, Co, Ba, Ti, Zr, Nb, and Sc show slightly higher values in Carboniferous sediments. On the basis of the content of Ti, Zr, and Nb, as well as ratios such as Th/U, Zr/Th, Ti/Zr, and TiO2/K2O, units with different inputs of the terrigenous fraction can be identified in both Carboniferous and Miocene formations. The paper shows that chemostratigraphy can be used as a stratigraphic and correlation tool for the Carboniferous and the Miocene deposits of the USCB.

W pracy przedstawiono dane geochemiczne dla 171 próbek skał osadowych z karbońskiej serii węglonośnej i pokrywy mioceńskiej z centralnej części Górnośląskiego Zagłębia Węglowego. Udziały głównych tlenków (Al2O3, SiO2, Fe2O3, P2O5, K2O, MgO, CaO, Na2O, K2O, MnO, TiO2 i Cr2O3)oznaczono za pomocą XRF. Pierwiastki główne i śladowe (Mo, Cu, Pb, Zn, Ni, Co, U, Cr, V, Mn, As, Th, Sr, Cd, Sb, Bi, Ba, Ti, W, Zr, Ce, Nb, Ta, Be i Sc) analizowano przy pomocy ICP-MS. Głównym celem badań była analiza koncentracji i zmienności stratygraficznej wybranych pierwiastków głównych i śladowych, jak również ocena możliwości stosowania chemostratygrafii w analizie karbońskich i mioceńskich osadów GZW. Badania geochemiczne wykazały odmienne właściwości geochemiczne próbek z karbonu produktywnego oraz miocenu. Zróżnicowanie to wyraża się głównie wzbogaceniem osadów miocenu w Ca i Sr, związane z biogenicznym materiałem węglanowym. Stwierdzono również, że stężenia pierwiastków śladowych, związanych z frakcją detrytyczną, takich jak: Zn, Cr, Co, Ba, Ti, Zr, Nb, Sc, wykazują nieco wyższe wartości w osadach karbonu. Na podstawie koncentracji pierwiastków Ti, Zr i Nb oraz wskaźników geochemicznych Th/U, Zr/Th, Ti/Zr, TiO2/K2O można zidentyfikować jednostki o różnym udziale frakcji terygenicznej, zarówno w osadach karbonu i miocenu. W pracy wykazano, że chemostratygrafia może być z powodzeniem wykorzystywana jako narzędzie stratygraficzne i korelacyjne dla utworów karbonu i miocenu Górnośląskiego Zagłębia Węglowego.
The extinct arachnid order Trigonotarbida Petrunkevitch, 1949 is reported here for the first time from Ukraine. The material consists of an opisthosoma preserved in ventral view from the upper Carboniferous (lower Moscovian; Paralegoceras–Eowellerites ammonoid zone) of the Gorlivka locality in the Donets Basin, eastern Ukraine. Formal assignment to a family or genus is difficult, but the preserved ventral anatomy is consistent with a member of the families Aphantomartidae Petrunkevitch, 1945, Kreischeriidae Haase, 1890 or Eophrynidae Karsch, 1882. It is noteworthy for expanding the known distribution of trigonotarbids in Europe and is only the second Palaeozoic arachnid to be formally described from Ukraine; the other being the carapace of a whip scorpion (Thelyphonida Latreille, 1804) from Lomovatka in the Luhansk Region, also in the Donets Basin.
Inconsistency in the approach to the corals included by different authors in the families Tachylasmatidae Grabau, 1928 and Pentaphyllidae Schindewolf, 1942 are discussed in the context of their relationship vs homeomorphy to the Family Plerophyllidae Koker, 1924. Following Schindewolf (1942), the pentaphylloid or cryptophylloid early ontogeny, typical of the former two families, is contrasted with the zaphrentoid ontogeny typical of the latter family. Comprehensive analysis proves the independent taxonomic position of the Suborder Tachylasmatina Fedorowski, 1973. The taxa described herein support this idea. The relationship of the two families: Tachylasmatidae and Pentaphyllidae within the framework of this suborder are suggested. A new genus left in open nomenclature (represented by a single specimen) and three new species, Pentaphyllum sp. nov. 1, ? Pentaphyllum sp. nov. 2 and Gen. et sp. nov. 1 are described from lower Bashkirian deposits.
The Family Neokoninckophyllidae and its type genus Neokoninckophyllum Fomichev, 1939 (type species: N. tanaicum Fomichev, 1939) are discussed and emended. In addition, the genera Orygmophyllum Fomichev, 1953 and Yuanophylloides Fomichev, 1953, originally included in the Families Campophyllidae Wedekind, 1922 and Lophophyllidae Grabau, 1928, respectively, are emended as well and transferred to the Neokoninckophyllidae. Two early Bashkirian species, viz. Yuanophylloides rectus (Vassilyuk in Aizenverg et al., 1983) and Y. inauditus (Moore and Jeffords, 1945), and the Moscovian Neokoninckophyllum sp. nov. are described on the basis of new collections from the Donets Basin. Neokoninckophyllum tanaicum, Yuanophylloides gorskyi Fomichev, 1953 (both Moscovian in age) and Y. cruciformis Fomichev, 1953 (latest Bashkirian), are redescribed on the basis of peels taken from Fomichev’s (1953) type specimens. Derivation of the Family Neokoninckophyllidae from the Subfamily Dibunophyllinae Wang, 1950 is postulated and phylogenetic links within the former are hinted at. The occurrence of Yuanophylloides inauditus in both the Donets Basin and the Western Interior Province of North America points to marine communication between those areas during the Bashkirian. The slightly earlier appearance of the oldest neokoninckophyllids in the Donets Basin, in comparison to North America (i.e., R1 vs R2 ammonoid biozones), documents the common roots and monophyletic development of the Neokoninckophyllidae in both areas.
The Family Kumpanophyllidae Fomichev, 1953, synonymised by Hill (1981) with the Family Aulophyllidae Dybowski, 1873, is emended and accepted as valid. The new concept of this family, based on both new collections and discussion on literature data, confirms the solitary growth form of its type genus Kumpanophyllum Fomichev, 1953. However, several fasciculate colonial taxa, so far assigned to various families, may belong to this family as well. The emended genus Kumpanophyllum forms a widely distributed taxon, present in Eastern and Western Europe and in Asia. Its Serpukhovian and Bashkirian occurrences in China vs Bashkirian occurrences in the Donets Basin and in Spain, may suggest its far-Asiatic origin, but none of the existing taxa can be suggested as ancestral for that genus. Thus, the suborder position of the Kumpanophyllidae remains unknown. Four new species: K. columellatum, K. decessum, K. levis, and K. praecox, three Kumpanophyllum species left in open nomenclature and one offsetting specimen, questionably assigned to the genus, are described.
Early Carboniferous (late Tournaisian) conodonts, recovered from siliceous shales and silicites of the Nyan-Vorga Formation within the Lemva tectonic belt of the Polar Urals (Russia), include the biostratigraphically important taxa Siphonodella lanei, Gnathodus typicus, Dollymae hassi, and Scaliognathus anchoralis, marking the following conodont zones of the upper Tournaisian: crenulata, typicus, and anchoralis. Associated species include representatives of genera Siphonodella, Polygnathus, Pseudopolygnathus, Dollymae, Gnathodus, Kladognathus, and Idioprioniodus. These conodont faunas provide the first biostratigraphically constrained correlations between bathyal deposits of the Lemva Allochthone in the Polar Urals and the “standard” conodont zonation. Ostracodes found in the silicite of the typicus Zone are represented by Sagittibythere ? sp. and Tricornina (Bohemia) sp. The ostracodes are reported from the bathyal deposits of Urals for a first time. The traces of the global Mid-Aikuanian Event are recognized in the upper part of the Tournaisian bathyal succession. This event led to turnover in conodont associations and is followed by increasing in conodont diversity.
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).
Campyloprion Eastman, 1902 is a chondrichthyan having an arched symphyseal tooth whorl similar to that of Helicoprion Karpinsky, 1899, but less tightly coiled. The holotype of Campyloprion annectans Eastman, 1902, the type species of Campyloprion, is of unknown provenance, but is presumed to be from the Pennsylvanian of North America. Campyloprion ivanovi (Karpinsky, 1922) has been described from the Gzhelian of Russia. A partial symphyseal tooth whorl, designated as Campyloprion cf. C. ivanovi, is reported from the Missourian Tinajas Member of the Atrasado Formation of Socorro County, New Mexico, USA. Partial tooth whorls from the Virgilian Finis Shale and Jacksboro Limestone Members of the Graham Formation of northern Texas, USA, are designated as Campyloprion sp. Two partial tooth whorls from the Gzhelian of Russia that were previously referred to C. ivanovi are designated as Campyloprion cf. C. annectans. The age of Toxoprion lecontei (Dean, 1898), from Nevada, USA, is corrected from the Carboniferous to the early Permian. An alternative interpretation of the holotype of T. lecontei is presented, resulting in a reversal of its anterior-to-posterior orientation. The genera Helicoprion, Campyloprion, and Shaktauites Tchuvashov, 2001 can be distinguished by their different spiral angles.
W artykule zaprezentowano wyniki badań według projektu „Ocena stężeń PAH i metali ciężkich na powierzchni hałd i obiektów przemysłowych" realizowanego w ramach Programu Operacyjnego Współpracy Transgranicznej Republika Czeska - Rzeczpospolita Polska przez VSB-TU w Ostravie oraz GIG (CZ 3.22/1.2.00/12.03398:2013). Badania na wybranych 20 obiektach (hałdach), po 10, po obu stronach granicy polsko-czeskiej w strefie przygranicznej Euroregionu Silesia wykazały, że pyły PM10 w warstwie przypowierzchniowej stanowią od 1,2 do 7,6 % zebranego materiału mineralnego. Ich skład mineralny związany jest z karbońskimi odpadami wydobywczymi oraz popiołami energetycznymi.

The article presents the results of the research done within project „Assessment of concentrations of WWA and heavy metals on the surface of dumps and industrial facilities" realized under the Operational Programme of Cross Border Cooperation of Czech Republic - Republic of Poland by the VSB-TU in Ostrava and CMI (CZ 3.22/2.1.00/12.03398:2013). The studies carried on 20 selected sites (waste dumps), 10 on each side of the Polish-Czech border, on the border area of the Silesia Euroregion, showed that PM10 dust in the near surface layer constitute between 1.2 to 7.6 % of the collected mineral material. Their mineral composition is related to the Carboniferous mining waste and fly ashes.
W artykule przedstawiono ocenę zawartości jonu barowego dopływającego z utworów karbonu do kopalń w solankach, a następnie zmian ilości tego szkodliwego dla środowiska wodnego składnika, wynikających z procesów zachodzących w węglonośnych utworach oraz w wyrobiskach górniczych w czasie przepływu wód kopalnianych na powierzchnię, do środowiska naturalnego wód powierzchniowych.

The article presents an assessment of barium ion content inflowing from the Carboniferous measures to the mines in the brine, followed by changes in the amount of this component harmful for the water environment resulting from the processes taking place in the coal-bearing formations and in mine workings during the flow of mine waters to the surface, to the natural environment of surface waters.
W trakcie wieloletnich badań geologicznych karbonu lubelskiego udowodniono występowanie kilku ważnych poziomów litologicznych, które są przydatne do przeprowadzania korelacji profilu karbonu z różnych rejonów Lubelskiego Zagłębia Węglowego. Jednym z nich jest poziom iłowców z Dunbarella usytuowany w dolnej części formacji z Lublina w bezpośrednim stropie pokładu węgla 395(305). Jest to poziom jednorodny litologicznie, ale zmienny pod względem zawartości skamieniałości fauny. Część dolna, o grubości do 0,6 m, zawiera skorupy małżów słodkowodnych z rodzaju Carbonicola i Naiadites. Wyższa część, o grubości około 15 m, oddzielona cienką, 0,35 m warstwą węglanową, zawiera skamieniałości fauny morskiej reprezentowanej przez małże w tym Dunbarella, ramienionogi, głowonogi i ślimaki, a w części stropowej o grubości do około 5,0 m, oprócz fauny Lingula charakterystycznej dla środowisk przejściowych, pojawiają się skamieniałości małżów słodkowodnych Naiadites i Anthracosia. Poziom ten definiuje spąg serii węglonośnej z ekonomicznymi pokładami węgla, a ponadto granicę między westfalem A i B.

Several lithological horizons of correlative importance have been distinguished in the Carboniferous section of the Lublin Coal Basin (Poland). One of them is the marine horizon with Dunbarella, that occurs as a claystone horizon in the lower part of the Lublin Formation, close to the coal seam no. 395 (305). Marine horizon with Dunbarella is lithologicaly unified but unique as it refers to the presence of fauna fossils. In the lower part of this horizon of 0,6m in thickness, shells of freshwater molluscs of Anthracosia and Naiadites occur. In the upper part of 15m in thickness, fossils of marine fauna occur, which are represented by: molluscs (including Dunbarella), brachiopods, cephalopods and gastropods. At the top part of the horizon of 5m in thickness, fossils of Lingula characteristic for brackish water environments occur. The presence of freshwater molluscs of Naiadites and Anthracosia is also indicative of the top part of the horizon. The boundary of marine horizon with Dunbarella between Westphalian A and Westphalian B is acknowledged as the indicative horizon of the bottom part of economic coal-bearing formation of the Carboniferous in the Lublin Coal Basin.
The paper presents the characteristics of prospective zones identified for the first time within the lower Palaeozoic shale formations occurring in the Baltic-Podlasie-Lublin Basin and within the Carboniferous shale, sandstone, and mixed shale-sandstone complexes (the so-called hybrid complexes) in the basin of south-western Poland. The lateral and vertical ranges of these zones are determined based on specific criteria using the results of various research methods and analyses, i.e.: stratigraphic, sedimentological, mineralogical, petrological and geochemical of organic matter, petrographic and petrophysical, including interpretation of well logs. Archived geological materials and those coming from the boreholes drilled recently in the concession areas were also used. Four prospective zones have been distinguished in the lower Palaeozoic of the so-called shale belt: SP1, SP2, SP3 and SP4. The most prospective area for the occurrence of unconventional hydrocarbon deposits in shale formations is the Baltic region – the Łeba Elevation, where there are all four perspective zones, only partially covering the range of potentially prospective formations. In each of these zones, both liquid and gas hydrocarbons can be expected in this area. Due to the low percentage of organic matter, the lowest hydrocarbon generation potential is attributed to the Lublin region. However, the low values of this parameter are compensated by other parameters, i.e. the considerable thickness and lateral extent of zone SP4 corresponding partly to the Pelplin Formation. In the Carboniferous rocks of south-western Poland, seven prospective zones have been distinguished in four borehole sections. Four of them are “tight” zones in compact sandstones, while the other three zones represent a hybrid type in complexes with mixed lithology. No prospective zones have been defined in complexes with homogeneous shale lithologies. Determination of lateral extents of the identified zones has not been possible due to the scarcity of data on the geological structure and stratigraphy of the Carboniferous succession in the study area
Intense program of shale gas prospecting in the territory of Poland is currently on going. Among the steps towards better examination of dispersed organic matter (DOM) in clastic Carboniferous rocks of the basement of the Fore-Sudetic Homocline are petrologic studies. The paper provides data on the DOM composition, kerogen type determination, and identification of thermal maturity degree of Carboniferous rocks in the basement of the Fore-Sudetic Homocline. In general, organic matter from the Carboniferous rocks is represented only by vitrinite and inertinite. Such composition of DOM permits to define it as humic organic matter typical for kerogen type III. Carboniferous rocks display a high and very high degree of thermal maturity, expressed by a wide range of vitrinite reflectance values (from below 1.50% to above 5.50%).
The aim of the study was to present the use of archival welllogs for quantitative determination of organic matter (TOC wt.% ). The study was conducted in the lower Palaeozoic rocks of the Baltic Basin and Podlasie-Lublin Basin as well as in the Carboniferous rocks of the Fore-Sudetic Homocline basement. In many wells, sonic logging has not been run at all or run to a limited extent. In such cases, a neural network method was used to estimate the interval time. Then, continuous analysis was carried out for quantitative determination of organic matter content (TOC) using the CARBOLOG method. Finally, well log interpretation was performed for six wells in the Podlasie-Lublin Basin, five wells in the Baltic Basin, and five wells in the Fore-Sudetic Homocline basement. This article presents examples of results obtained for two wells.
Among the rich material of chondrichthyan microremains from the Indian Cave Sandstone (Upper Pennsylvanian, Gzhelian) near Peru, Nebraska, USA, housed at the Carnegie Museum of Natural History, there occur almost sixty teeth representing Euselachii. They belong to at least seven species, presenting various types of heterodonty. Two new species are described, viz. Ossianodus nebraskensis gen. et sp. nov., whose dentition is similar to that of certain Mesozoic hybodonts, and Sphenacanthus tenuis sp. nov. with minute teeth of protacrodont design. Most of the euselachian teeth served to crush or grind prey, and some had the potential to clutch, but cutting teeth are absent from the fauna.
W strefie przejściowej pomiędzy siodłem głównym a niecką główną występują osady warstw orzeskich, które ostatnio poznano jednym otworem z powierzchni. Rozpoznano część profilu, który uległ znacznym, daleko zaawansowanym procesom wietrzeniowym, o czym świadczy występowanie skał słabo zdiagenezowanych i luźnych o nietypowych dla karbonu brązowo-żółtych barwach. Pobrane z analizowanego profilu próbki skał okruchowych zostały poddane badaniom petrograficzno-mineralogicznym. Na ich podstawie stwierdzono, że reprezentują one piaskowce, mułowce oraz iłowce, których jednym z głównych składników jest kwarc. Badany fragment profilu pod względem litostratygraficznym należy do warstw orzeskich reprezentujących górną część serii mułowcowej (moskow).

Orzesze Beds, which recently have been known by one bore hole from the surface, occur in the transition zone between the main saddle and the main basin sediments. The part of profile under the advanced weathering processes has been recognized, as evidenced by the occurrence of poorly diagenetically formed rocks and loose rocks characterized by unusual for Carboniferous brown-yellow colors. Petrographical and mineralogical tests were carried out for the samples from the analyzed profile. On this basis, it was found that they represent sandstones, mudstones and claystones, which mainly contain quartz. The tested fragment of lithostratigraphic profile belongs to Orzesze Beds representing the upper part of mudstone series (Moscovian).
Na obszarze środkowej części masywu małopolskiego, w ośmiu profilach wiertniczych wykonano badania paleotermiczne utworów węglanowych dewonu, karbonu i triasu na podstawie przeobrażenia termicznego substancji organicznej zawartej w konodontach. Na podstawie stopnia przeobrażenia barw konodontów pod wpływem temperatury (wskaźnik CAI – Colour Alteration Index) określono zakresy paleotemperatur jakim zostały poddane skały zawierające te organizmy. W otworze wiertniczym Węgrzynów IG 1 utwory żywetu górnego, franu, famenu i karbonu dolnego (turnej, wizen) mają wskaźnik CAI od 3 (dla żywetu) do 2 (dla karbonu dolnego). Wskazuje on na podgrzanie w zakresie 60‒110°C, na obszarze frontu waryscydów o wysokiej wartości paleogradientu termicznego. Dla profilu dewonu górnego w otworze Pągów IG 1 wartość CAI 4,5 dokumentuje stopień podgrzania skał do temperatury powyżej 230°C, w wyniku udziału podwyższonego strumienia cieplnego w rejonie strefy tektonicznej. W utworach triasu wskaźnik CAI 1‒1,5 świadczy o podgrzaniu skał w granicach 50‒90°C. Stosunkowo niska paleotemperatura materii organicznej w utworach triasu wskazuje, że utwory dewonu i karbonu osiągnęły dojrzałość termiczną w późnym karbonie, przed orogenezą waryscyjską. Objawy ropy naftowej i gazu ziemnego w utworach dewonu i karbonu centralnej części masywu małopolskiego mogą świadczyć o ich perspektywiczności w aspekcie poszukiwań bituminów.

A paleothermal study of Devonian, Carboniferous and Triassic carbonate rocks was carried out in eight boreholes from the central part of the Małopolska Massif by using data on thermal alteration of organic matter contained in conodonts. The maturity of organic matter expressed as the CAI (Colour Alteration Index) values was used to calculate palaeotemperatures that affected the conodont-bearing rocks. In the Węgrzynów IG 1 borehole, the CAI values for the Upper Givetian, Frasnian, Famennian and Lower Carboniferous rocks range from 3 (Givetian) to 2 (Lower Carboniferous). It suggests heating of rocks (at temperatures from 60 to 110°C) in the area of high palaeogeothermal gradient, close to the Variscan front. In the Upper Devonian sequence of the Pągów IG 1 borehole, the CAI value of 4.5 proves heating of rock at a temperature exceeding 230°C as a result of higher heat flow near a fault zone. The low CAI values (1‒1.5) of Triassic rocks provide the evidence for heating of rocks in the range of 50 to 90°C. The relatively low maturity of organic matter in the Triassic rocks indicates that the Devonian and Carboniferous sediments must have reached their thermal maturity in the Late Carboniferous prior to the Variscan orogeny. The signs of crude oil and natural gas observed in the Devonian and Carboniferous rocks in the central part of the Małopolska Massif attest their potential for hydrocarbon exploration.
W profilach otworów wiertniczych Pągów IG 1 i Węgrzynów IG 1 (centralna część masywu małopolskiego) wykonano badania konodontów z utworów węglanowych dewonu i najniższego karbonu. W profilu Węgrzynowa na podstawie konodontów udokumentowano utwory żywetu, franu i famenu datowane na poziomy dolny falsiovalis–górny postera, oraz turneju i wizenu z poziomów delicatus–texanus. W profilu Pągowa na podstawie konodontów udokumentowano fran i famen w zakresie poziomów jamieae–górny rhenana oraz dolny expansa. Niepełna sukcesja poziomów konodontowych w profilach Pągowa i Węgrzynowa wskazuje na obecność luk stratygraficznych. W Pągowie luki stwierdzono w utworach dewonu górnego oraz między utworami dewonu i karbonu, natomiast w Węgrzynowie w utworach z pogranicza dewonu i karbonu. W rejonie Węgrzynowa osady dewonu górnego były deponowane w zbiorniku o znacznie większej subsydencji niż w rejonie Pągowa. Utwory dewonu górnego masywu małopolskiego i obszarów ościennych odpowiadające zbliżonym przedziałom biostratygraficznym są podobne pod względem litologicznym i biofacjalnym.

The conodont study was performed on Devonian and lowermost Carboniferous carbonate rocks from the Pągów IG 1 and Węgrzynów IG 1 boreholes located in the central part of the Małopolska Massif. Based on the conodont biostratigraphy, sediments assigned to the Givetian, Frasnian and Famennian (lower falsiovalis–upper postera zones) and to the Tournaisian and Visean (delicatus–texanus zones) were examined in the Węgrzynów section. The Pągów section is represented by Frasnian and Famennian sediments ascribed to the jamieae–upper rhenana and lower expansa zones. The incomplete conodont zone succession in the Pągów and Węgrzynów sections indicates the presence of stratigraphic gaps. In Pągów, these hiatuses were pinpointed in the Upper Devonian and between the Devonian and the Carboniferous, whereas in Węgrzynów at the Devonian–Carboniferous boundary. In the Węgrzynów area, deposition of the Upper Devonian sediments occurred in a basin, showing much greater subsidence than that in the Pągów area. In the Late Devonian sediments of the Małopolska Massif and neighbouring areas of much the same biostratigraphic intervals are similar in terms of lithologic and biofacies characteristics.
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.

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 type collection of the lycopsid cone species Triplosporite brownii Unger was re-examined to assess its in situ spores. The cones are monosporangiate with only microspores that possess both cingulum and zona. They equate to the dispersed miospore genus Lycospora and would be identified as Lycospora cf. pseudoannulata. Therefore, the genus Triplosporite Brown is shown to be a junior synonym to Lepidostrobus and a species emendation is given. A comparison is given with the other Lepidostrobus cones which yielded similar in situ microspores of the Lycospora pellucida Group.
