    Inkluzje w solach bitumicznych wysadu kłodawskiego

    The so-called bituminous salts are a kind of salt rocks, which display considerable amounts of hydrocarbons giving them a specific colour and smell. In Kłodawa Salt Dome they occur as concentrations of various size and shape. Most often they form irregular streaks, lenses or bands of salts with different colours changing from light yellow to dark brown. The petrological investigations of such salts in thick plates showed a presence of very different fluid inclusion assemblages (FIA). They vary in size of inclusions, their shapes, the ratio of the gas to liquid phase and the ratio of solutions to hydrocarbons. In this respect, seven main types of FIA were distinguished including intermediate types, as well. Hydrocarbons occurring in singular FIA also show diversity in terms of optical properties in visible and ultraviolet light.
