    Rozwój badań utworów miocenu w Karpatach Zachodnich na obszarze Bielsko – Kraków
    (Wydawnictwa AGH, 2005) Moryc, Władysław
    The paper presents chronologically arranged discussion of existing views on the lithostratigraphic development of the Western Carpathian Miocene deposits as well as data from old and new boreholes in the studied area. The present author suggests the uniform stratigraphic division of the Miocene (especially Lower Miocene) deposits based on existing results and new findings. He also presents the occurrence and extent of distinguished lithostratigraphic units as well as the evolution of the Miocene basin and its tectogenesis. Miocene deposits in the Polish part of the Western Carpathians consist of thick deposit up to about 3000 meters. Almost half of these are represented by Lower Miocene deposits. The Miocene basin was moved northwards and younger deposits originated during folding processes of the Carpathian orogen. Several lithostratigraphical units were distinguished: Zawoja, Sucha and Stryszawa formations of the Lower Miocene deposits and Jachówki, Dębowiec and Skawina formations of the Lower Badenian one.
