Zapis delta exp.13C w osadach pogranicza dewonu i karbonu w południowej części Gór Świętokrzyskich

The delta exp.13C curve is presented for the Devonian-Carboniferous boundary (from the expansa to sandbergi conodont zones) outcropped at Kowala in the western Holy Cross Mountains, Poland. A positive carbon excursion is reported within micritic limestones corresponding to the upper (or even uppermost middle) praesulcata conodont zone, which coincides with the glacio-eustatic sea-level drop. The positive shift in the carbon isotope signature was preceded by a mass extinction of the ostracode, conodont and ammonite fauna coeval with the Hangenberg Event.
