    Egzotyki strefy krynickiej (płaszczowina magurska) i ich znaczenie paleogeograficzne

    Sedimentary beds containing exotic pebbles occur in the Krynica Subunit. They occur mainly in deposits of the Szczawnica, Zarzecze and Magura fms. Pelagic limestones (Tithonian- -Neocomian) and lithothamnium limestones (Palaeogene) were recognized among sedimentary rocks of the Krynica Zone. Volcanites, rarely granitoides as well as schists, gneisses, quartzites and cataclasites were found in the group of crystalline exotic pebbles. The exotic pebbles from the Eocene--Oligocene beds of the Krynica Zone differ from those found in the Jarmuta Fm (Maastrichtian--Palaeocene) of the Grajcarek Unit. The exotic pebbles of the Krynica Subunit do not have direct connection with the Pieniny Klippen Belt, whereas crystalline rocks derived from a continental terrain. The provenance of these rocks could be connected with Eocene exhumation of the Magura Basin basement or with the Inner Carpathian realm (Inner Dacides and/or Tisza terrain).
