Opis:
Upper Campanian–Maastrichtian sections on the western flank of the Hun Graben in the Western Sirte Basin (WSB) are displaying two major type facies based on the foraminiferal assemblages. The first one indicates open-marine to outer-shelf conditions, and is represented by numerous bathy-pelagic planktonic foraminiferal species referable to the Radotruncana calcarata, Globotruncana aegyptiaca and the lower part of the Gansserina gansseri Zone (all late Campanian).The second type facies indicates an inner-shelf environment and is represented in the middle-upper part of the Gansserina gansseri Zone (early Maastrichtian) and Racemiguembelina fructicosa (late Maastrichtian) dominated by epi-pelagic planktonic and large benthic foraminifers. Large benthic foraminiferal index species Siderolites calcitrapoides Lamarck and Omphalocyclus macroporus (Lamarck) occur in abundance by the middle–late Maastrichtian. Correlation between planktonic foraminiferal zonation and large benthic foraminiferal zonation is given. An open-marine to outer-shelf environment passed into shallower marine conditions during the late Campanian–early Maastrichtian to late Maastrichtian, then a slight deepening and again shallowing is noticed.

Opis:
India–Asia plate collision and uplift of the Himalaya took place during Paleocene–Eocene time (50 Ma). The extension of western Tethys Sea from Europe to Asian eastern Tethyan region has been correlated by assemblages of Larger Benthic Foraminifera (LBF). Global correlation and paleobiogeography of the eastern Meghalayan and western Tethyan Sea is discussed on the basis of SBZ of Paleocene– Eocene foraminifera assemblages (Fig. 1). Paleocene–Eocene Lakadong Limestone and Umlatodoh Limestone were deposited in shallow marine carbonate ramp depositional environment in Shillong Plateau, Meghalaya, NE India. The sedimentation basin is part of the Eastern Tethys and LBF and calcareous algae is the major carbonate facies. Coral reefs are not developed in these carbonates in contrast with the western Tethys limestones in Adriatic Platform and western European –Alpine region (Tewari et al., 2007).The LBF and algal assemblage in both the limestones is consistent with other parts of Eastern Tethys in Eastern India and Tibet (Hottinger, 1971; Scheibner & Speijer, 2008, Tewari et al., 2010). The latest Paleocene (Biozone SBZ4) miscellanids and ranikothalids are replaced by Early Eocene alveolinids and nummulitids, which dominates LBF assemblages in the western Tethyan realm at the P-E boundary (Scheibner & Speijer, 2008), Thanetian (SBZ4 Biozone) is equivalent to Tethyan platform stage II (Scheibner & Speijer, 2008). In standard biozones Ilerdian (SBZ5-SBZ6), a general reorganization in LBF communities is recorded with a long life and low reproductive potential (Hottinger, 1971). However, in the Meghalayan LBF assemblages of the lowest Eocene (biozones SBZ5/6) are still dominated by Ranikothalia and Miscellanea, while new LBFs that first emerged within this time interval elsewhere (e.g. Assilina, Alveolina and Discocyclina) are less important and Nummulites are absent. Later, in the Early Eocene there was a gradual diversification of Discocyclina and Assilina species (Fig. 1), while Ranikothalia disappeared and Miscellanea became less important by the end of the SBZ5/6 biozones. Similar LBF assemblages have been recorded in other parts of east Tethys in western India and Tibet (Scheibner & Speijer 2008; Tewari et al., 2010 and references therein). Such LBF assemblages in east Tethys thus differ from west Tethys. Palaeobiogeographical barriers must have existed between India and Eurasia during early collision of Indian Plate with Eurasia Plate around 50 Ma (Tewari et al., 2010 and references therein). These barriers prevented migration of certain LBF species of Nummulites and Alveolina between these two palaeogeographic regions. LBF dominated facies in the other basins of Meghalaya like Umlatodoh Limestone are well developed in low latitude. However, mixed coral-algal reefs and LBF facies were sparse in low-mid latitude carbonate environments (Adriatic Platform of Italy-Slovenia, Oman, Egypt, Libya, NW Somalia; Tewari et al., 2007, 2010; Scheibner & Speijer, 2008 and references therin). In contrast to west Tethys, corals are absent in Eastern Tethys (calcareous algae is present in SBZ3 and SBZ4 Biozone, Fig. 1) in the Meghalaya and other low-latitude eastern Tethys (Scheibner & Speijer, 2008). Carbonate ramp (shallow tidal flat ) carbonate environments were dominated by LBFs from Early to Late Paleocene (SBZ4, SBZ5, biozones; Fig. 1). It is interpreted that the collision of the Indian and Asian plates must have generated this difference in palaeobiodiversity by creating barriers, which prevented migration of certain LBFs (Nummulites) from west to east. Later, in the Early Eocene (SBZ6, SBZ7-SBZ8 biozones), recorded from younger Umlatodoh Limestone in the upper part gradually replaced by LBF dominated facies in the east, with highly diversified LBF species of Nummulites, Discocyclina, Discocylina jauhrii etc.), indicating stable shallow marine environmental conditions. Stable carbon and oxygen isotope analyses from Paleocene–Eocene Lakadong Limestone and Umlatodoh Limestone strongly supports a shallow marine carbonate platform deposition in Eastern Shallow Tethys, Meghalaya, India (Tewari et al., 2010)

Opis:
The formation of the Polish part of the Outer Carpathian Basin was initiated by the rifting process which led to the collapse and disintegration of the southern margins of the European Platform in the Late Jurassic. Fragments of carbonate platform were incorporated into the basin structures which divided the area into several sedimentary zones located at different depth. Under these conditions, most of the carbonate sediments were transported to the basin in the form of submarine landslides and gravity flows of varying densities, or accumulated during pelagic sedimentation. These deposits belong to two formations exposed in the westernmost part of the Polish Outer Carpathians, located near the Polish-Czech border. The first is mainly represented by the Tithonian marls (Vendryne Fm.) which also contain redeposited carbonate rocks and fossils (Oxfordian-Tithonian), the second is composed of limestones and marly shales of the late Tithonian-Berriasian (Cieszyn Limestone Fm.). These oldest sedimentary rocks in the Polish Outer Carpathians contain mainly benthic foraminifers and very scarce plankton occurring in exotic blocks and sometimes directly in sediments forming both formations. The first group includes forms with calcareous walls and also cemented with siliceous or calcareous material. Calcareous benthic forms belong mainly to Vagulinidae (Vaginulina, Vaginulinopsis, Astacolus, Citharina, Citharinella, Lenticulina, Palmula), Nodosariae (i.e. Frondicularia, Nodosaria, Dentalina), Epistominidae (Epistomina), and Polymorphinidae (Guttulina), while agglutinated taxa are represented by Verneulinidae (Uvigerinammina, Paleogaudryina, Belorussiella, Verneuilina), Andercotrymidae (Praedorothia, Protomarssonella, Pseudomarssonella) and Textulariopsidae (Bicazammina, Hagimashella, Textulariopsis). They can be related to the Jurassic shelf microfauna, which are known both from the Tethys and the European Platform. Among foraminiferal benthos there are also very rare aggluinated taxa belonging to several genera: Melathrokerion, Buccicrenata, Alveosepta, Pseudocyclammina, and the more common calcareous forms of Andersenolina, Neotrocholina, Trocholina, Paalzowella, as well as of Discorbis, which inhabited shallow marine environments formed around the elevations within the basin as well as on its coast. Recently, apart from the benthic microfauna isolated Globigerina-like forms have been also found in the Tithonian deposits. These few forms resemble early planktonic foraminifera of the Western Tethys (Gl. oxfordiana, F. hoterivica) as well as the taxa known epicontinental and subTethyan seas located north (“Gl.” stellapolaris) and east (Gl. balakhmatovae, G. terquemi) of the studied area. The taxonomy, abundance and state of preservation of the described foraminifera from the early basin of the Polish Outer Carpathians indicate a connection with the gradually degraded areas of the platform inhabited by benthic and plankton communities from both the Tethyan and Boreal seas. The studied foraminifera resemble the microfauna of Western and Eastern Tethys and adjacent platforms.

Opis:
The study focuses on Upper Cretaceous - Palaeocene deposits from the Beskid Śląski mountain range in southern Poland constituting the Istebna Beds. The Istebna Beds, also referred to as the Istebna Formation, are part of the Silesian tectonic unit, which forms the Outer Carpathian fold-and-thrust belt (part of the Alpine-Carpathian system). The results of qualitative and quantitative lithological-sedimentological studies were the basis for the interpretation of lithofacies types, sedimentary processes and palaeoenvironment as well as for the reconstruction of the architecture of the depositional system. The analysis conducted on the basis of field description of the deposits shows the prevalence (nearly 70%) of siliciclastic strata representing a sandstone-conglomerate association (S-C), which is the main subject of this work. The S-C lithofacies: sandstones, gravelly sandstones, sandy conglomerates and conglomerates constitute the deposits formed mostly by mass gravity-flows such as sandy-to-gravelly debris flows. The distribution of the coarse-clastic material indicates a sediment supply from southerly directions and implies the presence of an active source area in the rear part of the Silesian Basin. A succession of the sandstone-to-conglomerate deposits with the secondary participation of other lithofacies, with a thickness of approximately two thousand metres, indicates temporary increased diastrophic activity in the Silesian Ridge (source area) and the intense denudation of this area. The uplift of the alimentation area and its destruction coinciding with enforced relative regression and the uncovering of the proximal depositional zone of the basin led to resedimentation of the older intrabasinal material and repeated mass deposition together with delivery of extraclasts of pre-existing rocks and minerals. The lithofacies development of the sandstone-to-conglomerate debrites and the related sedimentary palaeotransport directions suggest an accumulation domain in the form of a linear apron depositional system developed in a deep-water setting. Experimental modelling of subaqueous sandy flows has contributed to a better understanding of the complex genesis of deep-water sediment gravity flows developing in depositional systems rich in sand material.

Opis:
The ALpine-CArpathian-PAnnonian (ALCAPA) block is one of the terranes involved in the Alpine-Tethys suture along with the North European Plate. In the Western Carpathians, this suture is supposed to be represented by the Pieniny Klippen Belt (PKB) which is a few kilometres wide and about 600 km long unit between the Outer Western Carpathians (OWC) and Central Western Carpathians (CWC) (Plašienka et al., 1997; Schmid et al., 2008). Unlike the Neotethian suture in the Western Carpathians, the PKB does not show the typical characteristics of a suture. The PKB is a sub-vertical unit with mainly shallow marine limestone and flysch deposits in a conspicuous “blockin-matrix” structure (Plašienka et al., 1997). The presence of “exotic” sediments in the PKB and the southernmost units of the OWC along with their shallow marine deposition environment led to the theory proposing the presence of a continental sliver called the Czorsztyn Ridge in the Alpine Tethys, dividing it into two oceanic/marine basins: the Magura Ocean to the north and the Vahic Ocean to the south (Plašienka, 2018). This controversial continental fragment possibly forming the basement for PKB successions, and its structural relationship with the adjoining OWC and CWC units, make it the main target of this project. The objective is to find evidence of the presence of this continental block, the Czorsztyn Ridge, which may have subducted along with the Vahic oceanic lithosphere underneath the CWC (Schmid et al., 2008). A passive seismic experiment will provide insight into the deep lithospheric structure across the PKP, testing the presence of a tectonic suture along with relaminated remnants of the Czorsztyn Ridge, and potential remnants of subducted or underthrusted lithosphere. Eighteen broadband stations have been deployed in a ~N-S transect (Fig. 1a) under the umbrella of the AdriaArray initiative, cutting across the PKB and Neotethian Meliata suture to the south. The data obtained during up to three years will complement 10 other permanent and temporary broadband stations, forming an approximate 370 km long profile and will be used to perform receiver function analysis and build structural and velocity models of the lithosphere (i.e., Schiffer, 2014; Schiffer et al., 2023) beneath the Western Carpathians. The horizontal extent of the imaging is shown in Figure 1b.

Opis:
A chain of carbonate platforms evolved in the northern Neo-Tethys during the Late Jurassic, but current knowledge remains incomplete as long as data from several larger regions, such as the Western Caucasus, are not included. In order to fill this gap, it is here suggested to reconsider the information accumulated chiefly during Soviet times. Although these data are too general, they still matter with regard to some regional characteristics and tentative interpretations. Available data on the spatio-temporal distribution of Bajocian-Callovian sedimentary rocks are summarised in a novel way which permits documentation of depositional trends at six representative localities in the Western Caucasus. The extent of the carbonate platform increased at two localities since the Late Callovian and at a third since the Middle Oxfordian. Three additional sites were characterised either by non-deposition or deep-marine sedimentation. The onset of carbonate platform development marked a remarkable shift from chiefly siliciclastic to carbonate deposition, although this event was not sudden everywhere. The Bathonian pulse of tectonic activity, coupled with the eustatic sea level rise, allowed shelves to expand during the Callovian-Oxfordian, with a reduction in siliciclastic input from islands and seawater that became well oxygenated and warmer. These conditions were conducive to biogenic carbonate production, allowing the carbonate platform to expand subsequently.

Opis:
The palaeogeographic positions of the pre-Cretaceous Tethys “western ends” (Kovács, 1992) and their relationships to easterly located oceanic domains remain to belong to the most challenging issues in deciphering the structure and tectonic evolution of the European Alpides (e.g. Schmid et al., 2020). Due to the westward increasing paucity of direct indications of ancient oceanic domains and their discontinuous occurrences, a number of sometimes considerably different reconstructions have been proposed by several authors. All these are based on various data and authors’ preferences; therefore achievement of a widely accepted model seems not to be probable at present. In general, searching for evidences of former oceanic domains in the nappe edifice of collisional mountain belts, commonly in the suture zones, is based on several fundamental criteria: 1) ophiolite slivers and ophiolite-bearing mélanges as vestiges of consumed oceanic lithosphere; 2) blueschistto eclogite-facies metamorphosed units recording the subduction/exhumation processes within a subduction channel and/ or accretionary prism; 3) deep-marine synorogenic sedimentary complexes like wildflysch or olistostromes; 4) mixture of these in chaotic units within an accretionary wedge; and 5) a specific case of intraoceanic subduction resulting in ophiolite obduction, but this is not considered as a continental collisional tectonic setting. Indirectly, position of past oceanic basins can be detected by: a) secondary occurrences of an oceanic crust-derived detritus, including the heavy mineral spectra, in syn- to early post-orogenic sedimentary clastic formations and clues to their source areas; b) shelf-slope-continental rise facies polarity of former passive margins; c) progradational trend of collisional thrust stacking of the lower plate with a suture (often totally destroyed) in the uppermost structural position in the rear part of an orogenic pro-wedge; d) subduction-related calc-alkaline magmatism accompanying the active margin; e) upper plate back-arc extension, or retro-wedge thrusting opposite to the pro-wedge in a bivergent orogen with the suture in its axial zone; f) major crustal-scale discontinuities revealed by deep seismic sounding connected to surface fault zones separating palaeogeographically distinct domains indicating possible plate boundaries. All these potential clues have been considered while reconstructing the Mesozoic tectonic evolution of the Western Carpathians (Plašienka, 2018 and references therein). It should be noted that no single criterion characterized above, even not a few indirect signs are enough to define a particular orogenic zone or unit as an evidence for an oceanic suture. There is only one Western Carpathian zone which fulfils most of them. It is represented by units and rock complexes grouped in a tectonic superunit known as the Meliaticum and respective oceanic realm as the Meliata Ocean. The Meliata-related units bear clear signs of criteria 1, 2, 3, 4 and indirect indicators a, b, c and e. Whatever different are the interpretations of the Meliata Ocean origin (e.g. born as a back-arc basin initiated by the northward subduction of Palaeotethys, or simply as a northern margin or embayment of Neotethys), or even its existence as an independent domain (regarded as a facies zone only), all palaeotectonic interpretations of the Alpine tectonic evolution of the Western Carpathians have to take into account these pieces of evidence.

The Lower Jurassic Adnet type red limestones and marlstones (Kliny Limestone Member, Huciska Limestone Formation) of the Krížna unit in the Tatra Mountains comprise cephalopod fauna represented by ammonites, belemnites and rarely by nautiloids. Ammonites belong to the families Phyloceratidae, Lytoceratidae, Hildoceratidae and Dactylioceratidae and indicate Early Toarcian Serpentinum Zone, Middle Toarcian Bifrons Zone (most probably Sublevisoni and Bifrons Subzones) and Late Toarcian Pseudoradiosa Zone. Hence, the age of Adnet type deposits may be estimated as Early Toarcian-Late Toarcian. Relatively moderate diversity of ammonite assemblage is noticed. Ammonites and nautiloids are preserved mainly as internal moulds, only some specimens display preserved calcified shells. Part of this macrofauna has resedimented character. Studied ammonite assemblage is closely related to that of the Mediterranean Province.

Opis:
Megalospheric forms of Priabonian Spiroclypeus of the Western Tethys were morphometrically investigated. Based on the reduction of the average number of undivided, post−embryonic chambers, the investigated populations are grouped into two successive, phylogenetically linked species, S. sirottii sp. nov. and S. carpaticus. The evolution is also demonstrated by the increase of the number of secondary chamberlets in particular chambers, by the increase of the diameter of the first two whorls and by that of the size of the proloculus, although the latter turned out to be also ecologically controlled. This evolution is supported by the stratigraphic succession of populations in the Mossano section (N Italy) and by the change of accompanying fossils. Lacking in upper Bartonian beds, the first appearance of genus Spiroclypeus seems to be synchronous with the beginning of the late Eocene. The newly described S. sirottii is associated with Heterostegina reticulata mossanensis and orthophragmines containing forms of middle Eocene acme, both marking the lower part of the Priabonian. Meanwhile S. carpaticus co−occurs with H. gracilis and/or with orthophragmines characteristic of the upper part of the Priabonian. We suppose that the Spiroclypeus sirottii–carpaticus lineage is restricted to the Priabonian. Thus, Spiroclypeus sirottii is a zonal marker for the Shallow Benthic Zone (SBZ) 19 (early Priabonian) while S. carpaticusindicates the SBZ 20 (late Priabonian).

Opis:
Megalospheric forms of Western Tethyan late Bartonian to late Priabonian involute Heterostegina from numerous localities, marking different ecological conditions, were morphometrically investigated. They belong to three species, H. armenica, H. reticulata, and H. gracilis based on the presence/absence of granulation, on the chamberlet characteristics and on the relative size of proloculus. Within these species a very rapid evolution could be observed in the reduction of the number of operculinid chambers, in the increase of the number of chamberlets and partially in the increase of the proloculus size. This evolution is demonstrated by stratigraphic superpositions in several localities (especially in the Mossano section), and is supported also by the change of co−occurring fossils, starting with the disappearance of large−sized Nummulites, then followed by the appearance of the genus Spiroclypeus and then by the disappearance of orthophragmines of middle Eocene acme. Based on the reduction of operculinid chambers, two chronosubspecies of Heterostegina armenica and seven of H. reticulata are defined biometrically (four of them: H. armenica tigrisensis, H. reticulata tronensis, H. r. hungarica, and H. r. mossanensis are introduced here). This allows to subdivide the Shallow Benthic Zone (SBZ) 18 into three and SBZ 19 into two subzones. The extremely rapid evolution of H. reticulata allows to calibrate larger foraminiferal events around the middle/late Eocene boundary. The extinction of large−sizedNummulitesseems to be heterochronous in the late Bartonian in having migrated eastward, while the first appearance of Spiroclypeus is shown to be synchronous at the base of the Priabonian. The middle/upper Eocene (= Bartonian/Priabonian) boundary is to be placed at the base of the Priabona marls in the Mossano section corresponding to the SBZ 18/19 limit, to the first appearance of genus Spiroclypeus, to that of Nummulites fabianii and of Heterostegina reticulata mossanensis. It falls into the upper part of both the P 15 and NP 18 planktic zones. The Western Tethyan Eocene involute Heterostegina became extinct, apparently with no Oligocene successors.

Opis:
Conodonts are phosphatic, tooth-like elements of extinct jawless vertebrates that are classified in the independent class Conodonta. Due to their rapid evolution, wide palaeogeographic distribution and high resistance, conodonts are one of the most significant microfossil groups in the biostratigraphy of the Paleozoic and Triassic. Animals with conodonts were bilaterally symmetrical, exclusively marine organisms, where they inhabited a variety of habitats. These include both open sea habitats, whereas some species adapted to shallow habitats of epicontinental seas. For this reason, conodonts are extremely important for understanding of the palaeoecological and palaeogeographic conditions of the Paleozoic and Triassic. They were unquestionably one of the most successful animal groups, since they existed more than 300 million years and their elements are widely used as index fossils. Conodonts have shown their value for Triassic biostratigraphy. Based on international criteria the Permian-Triassic system boundary is defined with the first appearance of the conodont species Hindeodus parvus (Kozur & Pjatakova). The Permian-Triassic interval strata of the GSSP section in Meishan (China) are next to the platform-bearing gondolellids marked by the presence of Hindeodus-Isarcicella population that enabled to introduce also a conodont zonation for shallow facies. A standard conodont zonation is, except for the two lowermost Triassic zones, based on gondolellid genera that lived in deeper water: Clarkina, Sweetospathodus, Neospathodus, Novispathodus, Borinella, Scythogondolella, Icriospathodus, Triassospathodus and Chiosella. Certain Dienerian and Smithian strata of Western Tethys are marked by shallow water and euryhaline genera and due to the absence of global biozonation markers, a stratigraphic value of some genera (Hadrodontina, Pachycladina, Eurygnathodus, Foliella, Platyvillosus) is recognized. These shallow water genera were ecologically controlled (temperature, oxygen levels) that have been adapted to the epicontinental ramp environment and were particulary instrumental in forming the western part of the Tethyan province.

Opis:
The Jurassic of the Alpine-Mediterranean Tethys was characterized by the formation of several interconnected basins, which underwent gradual deepening and oceanization. Sedimentation in each basin was influenced by a specific set of interrelated factors, such as tectonic activity, seawater circulation, climate, chemistry and trophic state of seawater as well as evolutionary changes of the marine biota. This paper deals with the Fatricum Domain (Central Carpathians, Poland and Slovakia), which in the Jurassic was a pull-apart basin on a thinned continental crust. The sedimentation history of this domain during the Bajocian-Tithonian and its governing factors have been revealed. Facies analysis of the Bajocian-Oxfordian deposits evidences considerable relief of the basin-floor topography. Deposits in the Western Tatra Mts represent sedimentation on a submarine intrabasinal high, whereas the coeval deposits of the eastern part of the Tatra Mts accumulated in a deeper basin. The basin succession began with Bajocian bioturbated “spotted” limestones and siliciclastic mudstones (Fleckenmergel facies). These were succeeded by uppermost Bajocian - middle Bathonian grey nodular limestones, affected by synsedimentary gravitational bulk creep. The coeval deposits of the intrabasinal high are represented by well-washed Bositra-crinoidal limestones with condensed horizons. Uniform radiolarite sedimentation commenced in the late Bathonian and persisted until the early late Kimmeridgian. The basal ribbon radiolarites (upper Bathonian - lower Oxfordian), which consist of alternating chert beds and shale partings, are a record of seawater eutrophication, a related crisis in carbonate production and the rise of the CCD, which collectively resulted in biosiliceous sedimentation. The overlying calcareous radiolarites (middle Oxfordian - lowermost upper Kimmeridgian) marked a gradual return to carbonate sedimentation. The return of conditions that were favourable for carbonate sedimentation took place in the late Kimmeridgian, when the red nodular limestones were deposited. They are partly replaced by basinal platy limestones (uppermost Kimmeridgian - Tithonian) in the Western Tatra Mts. This lateral variation in facies reflects a change in the sedimentary conditions governed by a bathymetric reversal of the seafloor configuration, attributed to a further stage in the pull-apart transcurrent tectonics of the Fatricum Domain.

Opis:
Bositra limestones of Aalenian–Lower Bathonian age crop out in the Krížna unit in the Western Tatra Mountains (Poland). They are sandwiched between pelagic red limestones and radiolarites and display lateral facies variation. Four facies were distinguished: (i) Bositra packstones/grainstones, (ii) crinoidal packstones/ grainstones, (iii) Bositra-crinoidal packstones, and (iv) Bositra-radiolarian wackestones. The Bositra packstones/ grainstones were laid down in high-energy setting, while Bositra-radiolarian wackestones in calm condition. Crinoidal packstones/grainstones represent density current deposits. Bositra-crinoidal packstones resulted from intense bioturbation and mixing of crinoidal packstones/grainstones with background Bositra-rich deposits. Topographic gradient affected the lateral facies variation. Taphonomic factors strongly controlled by energy of the sedimentary environment, ecological factors which caused domination of Bositra bivalves in benthos assemblage and dissolution eliminating non-calcitic bioclasts could resulted in formation of the Bositra limestones. The eutrophication of water column and remodelling of the Krížna Basin, which finally led to deposition of radiolarites seem to be of considerable importance. Hence, Bositra limestones can be regarded as the record of the interme- diate stage of the basin evolution towards radiolarite formation.
Wapienie bositrowe wczesnego aalenu–wczesnego batonu, które odsłaniają się w jednostce kriżniańskiej w Polskich Tatrach Zachodnich znajdują się w profilach pomiędzy pelagicznymi czerwonymi wapieniami a radiolarytami (Fig. 1, 2; Lefeld et al., 1985; Gradziński et al., 2004). Wapienie te wykazują wyraźne facjalne zróżnicowanie. Wydzielone zostały następujące facje: (i) bositrowe pakstony/greinstony, (ii) krynoidowe pakstony/greinstony, (iii) bositrowo-krynoidowe pakstony i (iv) bositrowo-ra diolariowe wakstony (Fig. 2, 3). Bositrowe pakstony/greinstony powstały w środowisku o stosunkowo wysokiej energii, a bositrowo- radiolariowe wakstony w warunkach niskiej energii. Krynoidowe pakstony/greinstony są interpretowane jako osady prądów gęstościowych, a bositrowo-krynoidowe pakstony jako osady prądów gęstościowych zbioturbowane i zmiksowane z osadami tła depozycyjnego. Zróżnicowana morfologia basenu wpłynęła na oboczną zmienność facjalną omawianych wapieni i przestrzenny rozkład facji (Fig. 4). Powstanie wapieni bositrowych było warunkowane przez czynniki natury tafonomicznej, związane z energią środowiska sedymentacji, natury ekologicznej decydujące o dominacji bositr w zespole bentosu i procesy rozpuszczania eliminujące nie kalcytowe bioklasty. Postępująca eutrofizacja wód (Bartolini & Cecca, 1999; Cobianchi & Picotti, 2001) i przemodelowanie basenu kriżniańskiego związane z procesami ryftingu Zachodniej Tetydy, które ostatecznie doprowadziły do depozycji radiolarytów, wydają się mieć zasadniczy wpływ na powstanie wapieni bositrowych. Tak więc, wapienie bositrowe reprezentują przejściową fację poprzedzającą w czasie powstanie tetydzkich jurajskich radiolarytów.

Opis:
Lower-Middle Jurassic glaucony-bearing deposits crop out in the Polish part of the Križna Unit in the Western Tatra Mts. These deposits, up to 20 cm thick, consist of glaucony-rich marls and limestones. The glaucony grains constitute up to 30% volume of the deposits. They represent an evolved stage of glauconitization since they contain more than 7% K2O. The content of Al2O3 is high (up to 19.97%, average 16.98%) while the content of Fe2O3 is low (not more than 23.48%, average 12.84%). These features are interpreted as a product of diagenetic processes. The glaucony-bearing deposits were formed at an upper bathyal depth and their rate of deposition was very low, what allowed long-lasting evolution of the glaucony grains. The K-Ar age of the glaucony grains is much younger than the biostratigraphic age of the studied section. The lowering of the K-Ar dates is interpreted as a result of loss of radiogenic Ar from the lattice of the glaucony.

Opis:
Middle-Upper Jurassic pelagic carbonates and radiolarites were studied in the Krížna Nappe of the Tatra Mountains (Central Western Carpathians, southern Poland and northern Slovakia). A carbon isotope stra- tigraphy of these deposits was combined with biostratigraphy, based on radiolarians, calcareous dinoflagellates and calpionellids. In the High Tatra and Belianske Tatra Mountains, the Bajocian and part of the Bathonian are represented by a thick succession of spotted limestones and grey nodular limestones, while in the Western Tatra Mountains by relatively thin Bositra-crinoidal limestones. These deposits are referable to a deeper basin and a pelagic carbonate platform, respectively. The various carbonate facies are followed by deep-water biosiliceous facies, namely radiolarites and radiolarian-bearing limestones of Late Bathonian-early Late Kimmeridgian age. These facies pass into Upper Kimmeridgian-Lower Tithonian pelagic carbonates with abundant Saccocoma sp. The bulk-carbonate isotope composition of the carbonate-siliceous deposits shows positive and negative S C excursions and shifts in the Early Bajocian, Late Bajocian, Early Bathonian, Late Bathonian, Late Callovian, Middle Oxfordian and Late Kimmeridgian. Additionally, the S13C curves studied show a pronounced increasing trend in the Callovian and a steadily decreasing trend in the Oxfordian-Early Tithonian. These correlate with the trends known from the Tethyan region. The onset of Late Bathonian radiolarite sedimenlalion is marked by a decreasing trend in S13C. Increased S13C values in the Late Callovian, Middle Oxfordian and Late Kimmeridgian (Moluccana Zone) correspond with enhanced radiolarian production. A significant increase in CaCO3 content is recorded just above the Late Callovian S13C excursion, which coincides with a transition from green to variegated radiolarites.
