“…The Istebna sandstones of the Lower Campanian-Maastrichtian belong to the Silesian nappe [30,31], as shown in Figure 1. They are a product of deep-sea silicoclastic sedimentation in the diverse and rapidly changing deposition environments of the channels and their outlet zones of the central cone and within the non-canalized silicoclastic apron [32][33][34].…”

Stone-building materials, despite their natural origin, must be tested for the concentration of trace elements necessary to assess their impact on the environment and humans. In addition to basic research determining their mineral composition and structural and textural features, it is important to analyze the geochemical interactions between the material matrix and the concentration of elements that have a negative impact on the surrounding natural environment and our health. In the presented study, mineralogical and geochemical studies were carried out on the Carpathian sandstones. It was shown that the studied sandstones are represented by lithic wackes and sublithic arenites. Rocks subject to the secondary process of sulfide mineralization were observed among sublithic arenites. Pyrite in the studied geomaterials took various forms. A detailed geochemical analysis was carried out in the material in which iron sulfides acted as a binder. The research was aimed at identifying possible variations in the concentration of elements, with a particular emphasis on the contact between the silica and mineralized phases. The assessment of the geochemical interaction of iron sulfides with silica at a successively enlarged measurement was carried out using the Mamdani–Assilian fuzzy inference model.

“…Phycosiphon is interpreted a trace of a deposit-feeding, wormlike organism (Wetzel & Bromley, 1994). Phycosiphon occurs in continental-shelf slopes, submarine fans, turbidites, and flysch deposits (e.g., Uchman, 1998;Naruse & Nifuku, 2008;Rajchel & Uchman, 2012). Recent studies have found that Phycosiphon tracemakers are early colonizers of the upper portions of turbidite deposits when bottom waters are fully oxygenated (e.g., Wetzel & Uchman, 2001;Naruse & Nifuku, 2008).…”

The study fo cuses on Up per Cre ta ceous-Paleocene de pos its from the Beskid Śląski moun tain range in south ern Po land con sti tut ing the Istebna Beds. The Istebna Beds, also re ferred to as the Istebna For ma tion, are part of the Silesian tec tonic unit, which forms the Outer Carpathian fold-and-thrust belt (part of the Al pine-Carpathian sys tem). The re sults of qual i ta tive and quan ti ta tive lithological-sedimentological stud ies were the ba sis for the in ter pre ta tion of lithofacies types, sed i men tary pro cesses and palaeoenvironment as well as for the re con struc tion of the ar chi tec ture of the depositional sys tem. The anal ysis con ducted on the ba sis of field de scrip tion of the de pos its shows the prev a lence (nearly 70%) of siliciclastic strata rep resent ing a sand stone-con glom er ate as so ci a tion (S-C), which is the main sub ject of this work. The S-C lithofacies: sand stones, grav elly sand stones, sandy con glom er ates and con glom er ates con sti tute the de pos its formed mostly by mass grav ity-flows such as sandy-to-grav elly de bris flows. The dis tri bu tion of the coarse-clastic ma te rial in di cates a sed i ment supply from south erly di rec tions and im plies the pres ence of an ac tive source area in the rear part of the Silesian Ba sin.
