Budowa geologiczna rejonu Sucha Beskidzka - Świnna Poręba (polskie Karpaty fliszowe)
(Wydawnictwa AGH, 2006) Cieszkowski, Marek; Golonka, Jan; Waśkowska, Anna; Chrustek, Monika
Upper Cretaceous and Paleogene rocks of the Silesian and Magura Nappes build up the complex structure of the investigated area, which is stretching along the Skawa River valley between Sucha Beskidzka and Świnna Poręba. Middle and Upper Godula Beds, Istebna Beds, Eocene red shales and Ciężkowice Sandstone as well as Hieroglyphic, Menilite and Krosno Beds form the Silesian Succession. The debris-flow deposits with exotic rocks pebbles and large olistolites were observed within the Krosno Beds. The sedimentary succession is typical for the Siary sub-unit from the Magura Nappe. The present authors proposed the formal lithostratigraphic names for this unit. According to this formalization the following lithostratigraphic units have been distinguished within the Siary succession: Jaworzynka Formation (Ropianka Beds) with Gołynia Shale member and Mutne Sandstone Member within the Paleocene part of profile, Łabowa Formation with the Żurawnica Sandstone Member, the Skawce Sandstone Member, Beloveza Formation, and Maków Beskid Formation with Zembrzyce Shale Member, Wątkowa Sandstone Member and Budzów Shale Member. The Silesian and Magura Nappes rocks are strongly folded, within the Magura Nappes several scales and longitudinal shear zones have been distinguished. The formations of both units are cut by the transversal fault systems of The Magura Nappe has the independent fault systems, some of its dislocations have been acquired, however, from the Silesian Nappe.

Komputerowy model przestrzenny południowo-wschodniego fragmentu fałdu Grabownicy, jednostka śląska
(Data obrony: 2010-07-09) Zwoliński, Paweł
Wydział Geologii, Geofizyki i Ochrony Środowiska
The Grabownica Fold is a part of the Silesian Nappe in the eastern part of the Polish segment of the Outer Carpathians. The Fold formed of Cretaceous to Eocene rocks probably overthrusts the sub-Silesian Nappe. In order to perform geomodeling, surface and well data as well as older geological sections were analyzed in details. Using the Petrel software, considered to be one of the most advanced geomodeling programs, three – dimensional spatial model of the Grabownica Fold was created.

Lithistid spicules in the sediments of the Turonian Variegated Shale in the Silesian Nappe, Polish Outer Carpathians
(Wydawnictwa AGH, 2014) Okoński, Szymon; Górny, Zbigniew; Bąk, Marta; Bąk, Krzysztof
Turbiditic silty and sandy intercalations in the Turonian Variegated Shale from the Silesian Nappe (Polish Outer Carpathians) contain numerous sponge spicules among siliciclastic fine-grained particles. The highest amount of spicule admixture is nearly 50%. In such layers, they create spiculitic sublitharenite microfacies. These sponge spicules contain forms belonging mostly to the Lithistida group (97% of morphotypes), with a small admixture of spicules from the Hexactinellidae group. Tetraclones with a high content of different types of triaenes dominate among desmas, what indicates the dominance of sponges from subfamily Tetracladina. The preservation state of spicules is generally poor. The Variegated Shale deposits that contain the sponge spicules were accumulated in a deep sea basin, below the calcium compensation depth. Most probably, the spicules were derived from loose material accumulated earlier in various parts of the basin slopes, from which they were exhumed and again redeposited by turbidity currents during the Turonian times.

Microtectonic Deformations at Longitudinal Faults Zones in the Silesian Nappe (Bieszczady Mountains)
(Data obrony: 2017-07-31) Strzelecki, Piotr
Wydział Geologii, Geofizyki i Ochrony Środowiska
Deformation bands (DB) are microdeformations, which could be found within fault zones in sandstones. DB occur also in the Polish part of the Outer Carpathians, in the Lower Krosno beds of the Silesian Nappe. The study area was located along Dwernik stream (Bieszczady Mts) where the strata were folded into NW-SE striking regional-scale folds and cut by NW-SE trending, fold parallel regional faults. The aim of presented study was to characterize microdeformations in the faults zones, and to show the relationship between origin of DB and regional structures. The studies included geological mapping as well as structural and microstructural analyses of DB in thin sections. Based on result of these studies, genesis of the DB and their relationship with regional structures were discussed. Microstructures of DB indicate that they were formed in shallow to moderately burial conditions. The DB originated progressively during maximum stress axis rotation from horizontal to the sub-vertical orientation. However, majority of the DB formed after folding and origin of them has no evident relationship with faulting.

Rocky Sandstone Landforms in Istebna, Silesian Beskid (Outer Carpathians, Poland)
(Wydawnictwa AGH, 2018) Starzec, Krzysztof; Waśkowska, Anna; Golonka, Jan; Gawęda, Aleksandra; Szopa, Krzysztof
The rocky sandstone landforms, which are interesting geotouristic objects, occur in the eastern part of Istebna village. The series of rock walls and pulpits is located on the southern slopes of the Karolówka Range. Fragments of the upper sandstones of Istebna Formation (Upper Cretaceous–Paleocene) crop out within these rocks. They represent the period of intensive supply of the clastic material into the Outer Carpathian Silesian Basin leading to the origin of thick-bedded, very coarse-grained sandstones and conglomerates. The occurrence of large, numerous crystalline rocks is a particular and unique feature of these outcrops. These magmatic and metamorphic rocks were derived from the basement of the Carpathian basins. This paper describes the detailed characteristics of these rocky landform objects.

Structural control on the initiation and development of the Biała Wisełka Landslide Complex (Silesian Beskid, Outer Carpathians, Southern Poland)
(Wydawnictwa AGH, 2018) Sikora, Rafał
The numerous landslides which have developed in the mostly Cretaceous to Eocene turbiditic rocks of the Silesian Beskid are genetically and geometrically controlled by bedrock structural features, the Biała Wisełka Landslide Complex being no exception. Its location is in the headwater area of the Wisła River, on the slopes of Mt. Barania Góra (1220 m a.s.l.). The bedrock is represented by flysch strata of the Silesian Nappe (Outer Carpathian Fold-and-Thrust Belt), or, more specifically, the Upper Cretaceous turbiditic Upper Godula and Lower Istebna Beds of the Godula Thrust Sheet. The research work consisted in their mapping and structural analysis, facilitated by the use of a high-resolution digital elevation model based on LiDAR data. A comparative analysis enabled the determination of the relationships between landslides and the bedrock structure. The study results point to significant roles being played by the joint network, fault systems, the structural arrangement and the lithology of rock strata in the initiation and evolution of the studied landslide complex. An additional result of the methods applied methods was the identification and characterization of previously unknown fault zones in the study area.

Tektonika polskich Karpat fliszowych pomiędzy Bielskiem-Białą a Nowym Targiem
(Wydawnictwa AGH, 2007) Golonka, Jan
The Polish Outer Carpathians between Bielsko-Biała and Nowy Targ are built up from the thrust, imbricated Upper Jurassic - Neogene flysch deposits. The following Outer Carpathian nappes have been distinguished: Magura Nappe, Fore-Magura group of nappes, Silesian, Subsilesian and Skole Nappes. The Magura Nappe borders along Stare Bystre-Szaflary line with the Pieniny Klippen Belt. It is thrust over the Fore-Magura and Silesian nappes at least 20 km. The Skawa line system of faults displaces the Magura Nappe margin 2 km northward. The Fore-Magura narrow zone runs from Milówka to the southern slope of Beskid Mały, where disappears from the surface. The Silesian Nappe is devided into two segments along the Skawa fault. The western one is characterized by the development of Cretaceous Godula Sandstones, eastern by the occurrence of Krosno Beds. The Sub-Silesian Nappe occurs as broken pieces along the northern margin of the Silesian Nappe, as well as in the tectonic windows within the Silesian Nappe. The Skole Unit is thrust over the Miocene deposits of Carpathian Foredeep in the area north of Wadowice and Andrychów.

The Eocene Hieroglyphic beds and Green shales in the Rożnów Lake area (Silesian Nappe, Outer Carpathians) - facies development and biostratigraphy
(Wydawnictwa AGH, 2014) Waśkowska, Anna
In the lithostratigraphic section of a sedimentary sequence of the Silesian Nappe in the area of Rożnów Lake, the strata that occur above the Ciężkowice sandstone and below the Globigerina marls are represented by a relatively thin unit informally named the Hieroglyphic beds and a succeeding thick complex of so-called Green shales. The Hieroglyphic beds, deposited over a short time interval during the Lutetian time (Reticulophragmium amplectens zone), are followed by the Green shales that were deposited from the Lutetian to the Priabonian (Reticulophrgamium amplectens, Ammodisus latus, Reticulophragmium rotundidorstum zones). This work describes the foraminiferal assemblages, on the basis of which, the age of the Green shales was established that in the area of Rożnów Lake. Deposition of the Green shale unit started in the Lutetian, while in other regions of the Silesian Basin it is documented from the Priabonian. The upper boundary of the Green shales is isochronous and defined by the base of the calcareous horizon of a specific type of marls known as the Globigerina marls.
