“…It is composed of a continuous turbiditic sequence up to six thousands metres thick or occasionally more representing the Late Jurassic through to the Early Miocene (e.g. Cieszkowski 1992;Ślączka & Kaminski 1998;Ślączka et al 2006;Picha et al 2006;Cieszkowski et al 2012b and papers cited therein). Numerous papers were devoted to the litho-and biostratigraphy of Cretaceous and Palaeogene deposits of the sedimentary succession present in the Silesian Nappe.…”

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.

“…These olistostromes should be the ?Bathonian con tinental sandstones mentioned by Westermann et al (1980, photo 3) in the west side of the Pucayacu Crick. Differential criteria for the identification of olistostromes and texturally similar melanges were discussed by Hsti (1974) and Cieszkowski et al (2009Cieszkowski et al ( , 2012 Westermann et al (1980), Carlotto et al (2009) and in this paper.…”

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. A succes sion of the sand stone-to-con glom er ate de pos its with the sec ond ary par tic i pa tion of other lithofacies, with a thick ness of ap prox i mately two thou sand metres, in di cates tem po rary in creased di a strophic ac tiv ity in the Silesian Ridge (source area) and the in tense de nu da tion of this area. The up lift of the alimentation area and its de struc tion co in cid ing with en forced rel ative re gres sion and the un cov er ing of the prox i mal depositional zone of the ba sin led to resedimentation of the older intrabasinal ma te rial and re peated mass de po si tion to gether with de liv ery of extraclasts of pre-ex ist ing rocks and min er als.
