Abstract:The Ostravice Sandstone Member was identified and described as a lithostratigraphic unit in the Polish part of the Outer Carpathians. This division occurs in the lowermost part of the Godula Formation, is underlain by variegated deposits of the Mazák Formation or directly by the Barnasiówka and Lhoty formations, and overlain by the Czernichów Member of the Godula Formation. Domination by thick-and very thick-bedded sandstones, conglomeratic sandstones and conglomerates rich in calcareous clasts, mostly of the Štramberk-type limestones, is typical for the Ostravice Sandstone Member. These deposits are widespread between the Moravskoslezské Beskydy Mountains in the Czech Republic and the Ciężkowice Foothills in Poland. The documentation of the Ostravice Sandstone Member occurrence as well as the petrological, sedimentological features, and inventory of the carbonate clasts are presented here.

Assessing palaeobathymetry and sedimentation rates using palynomaceral analysis: a study of modern sediments from the Gulf of Papua, offshore Papua New Guinea

A Nittrouer (2015): Assessing palaeobathymetry and sedimentation rates using palynomaceral analysis: a study of modern sediments from the Gulf of Papua, offshore Papua New Guinea, Palynology, Palynologists interested in better understanding the sedimentation and energy of depositional environments have often included studies of palynomaceral fragments, particularly when performing palynofacies analyses. Due to the difficult nature of classifying these fragments, researchers have developed numerous, often overlapping, classification schemes. These different schemes make it difficult to compare and contrast between research projects. Determining the appropriate scheme to apply when counting these fragments can be confusing, and application of these schemes can yield inconclusive results, especially when sedimentation and energy are in constant flux. A scheme of five categories, including brown wood (palynomaceral 1À2), leaf cuticle (palynomaceral 3), black debris (palynomaceral 4), structureless organic matter (SOM) and resin, is utilised here. It is applied to the analysis of 64 modern samples from the top 0À4 cm of sediment collected throughout the Gulf of Papua, Papua New Guinea. These samples span a suite of common marine depositional environments: river mouths and deltas, the proximal portion of the continental shelf dominated by a large clinoform, and turbidite and hemipelagic/pelagic deposits on the slope and in the deep ocean basin. Principal component analysis (PCA) confirms this simplified classification scheme provides an indirect means of assessing distance from shore and shelf-slope break, overall water depth and sediment accumulation rate, but other factors, such as processing technique, marine productivity, sediment source, time in transport and residence and bioturbation, are taken into account to fully explain distribution.

“…In the Late Campanian, the sea level was c. 140 m higher than at present (Haq et al 1988), which correlates with the peak of diversity of siliceous sponges in other areas of the epicontinental basin of Europe (Wiedenmayer 1994). Fast sea-level fall by c. 50 m at the end of the Campanian (Haq et al 1988) was noted both in the Tethys Ocean and in the Boreal epicontinental seas of Europe (Jarvis et al 2002;Skupien and Mohamed 2008;Niebuhr et al 2011). In inner to middle shelf deposits, this shallowing is marked by the presence of shallow marine facies or unconformity surfaces with stratigraphic gaps (Pożaryski 1960b;Olszewska 1990;Bless et al 1991;Niebuhr and Ernst 1991).…”

Świerczewska-Gładysz, E. 2012. Hexactinellid sponge assemblages across the Campanian-Maastrichtian boundary in the Middle Vistula River section, central Poland. Acta Geologica Polonica, 62 (4), 561-580. Warszawa.The sponge fauna from the Upper Campanian-lowermost Maastrichtian succession of the Middle Vistula River valley (central Poland) is represented mainly by dictyid hexactinellid sponges (Hexactinosida and Lychniscosida). Their greatest abundance and taxonomic variability is noted in the "Inoceramus" inkermanensis Zone (Upper Campanian), and they are less diverse in the overlying (Upper Campanian) Trochoceramus costaecus Zone and lower "Inoceramus" redbirdensis Zone. In the upper "Inoceramus" redbirdensis Zone (basal Maastrichtian in the sense of the Tercis rather than the Boreal definition) they are extremely rare. With the beginning of the Maastrichtian the number of dictyid sponges gradually increases.The observed changes in the abundance and taxonomic variability of the dictyid sponges indicate environmental changes in the latest Campanian-earliest Maastrichtian sea in the area. It seems that changes in basin bathymetry, confined to eustatic sea-level changes in the latest Campanian and early Maastrichtian, were the most important factor. Progressive shallowing of the basin in the latest Campanian drastically restricted the development of dictyids. In the peak regression, the sea level could have fallen to only several tens of metres. The gradual recovery of the sponge assemblages correlates with subsequent deepening of the basin with the start of the Maastrichtian.
