Quest for the Lost World, or palaeontological geotourism
(Wydawnictwa AGH, 2017) Andruszkiewicz-Gorzelak, Maria; Mizerski, Włodzimierz
Palaeontological geotourism could be one of many forms of propagating geological values of a country. It can meet the expectations of many tourists. For this broad category of people, paleontological tourism can instill curiosity about the extinct world, offering them places where they can feel like explorers, visiting these sites with a hammer and a chisel. Many of them will cherish the memories of adventures made during the search in the future, and some will find a new passion. Similar practices are used in Germany, for example, in Solnhofen or Holzmaden, where fossil exploration is available for a small fee. In most regions of Poland, you can find numerous places with fossils that anyone can search for. The greatest number of such sites can be found in the south of Poland, in the uplands and mountains, but also at the seaside, where the practice of palaeontological geotourism is possible. In the Holy Cross Mountains, the Sudetes, or in the Silesian-Cracow region, there are places where one finds fossils of plants or animals, including trace fossils. The only effort required in addition to the search for fossils is to develop guidelines and prepare guides for amateurs that quest for the lost world.

The Babiogórski National Park was established in 1954 and enlarged in 1997. The Babia Góra range is the highest one in the Polish Outer Carpathians. It is formed of Upper Cretaceous- Paleogene flysch deposits represented by two types of lithostratigraphical successions folded and thrust northward as the Magura Nape. The zonality is controlled by natural climatic factors, together with geographical ones. The southern slope exposed to the Orawa Basin shows strong thermal and pluvial continentality, while the northern slope is much more affected by oceanic influences. The basic hydrological features of Mt Babia Góra, such as: water balance, seasonal changes of water resources, underground and surface waters were characterized. A lot of attention was paid to water circulation, water courses, springs, landslide lakes and waterlogged areas. The dominating influence of landslide morphology on water circulation, altitudinal differentiation of water phenomena was emphasized. Water from Mt Babia Góra is very pure.

The Owadów-Brzezinki geoeducation area at Sławno
(Wydawnictwa AGH, 2020) Błażejowski, Błażej; Wierzbowski, Andrzej
The geoeducation area (called also »Owadów-Brzezinki Geopark«) located in the north-western margin of the Holy Cross Mountains (Tomaszów Syncline) at Sławno community (Łódź Voivodeship), was established in June 2019, in close vicinity of the Owadów-Brzezinki quarry. This locality is one of the most important palaeontological sites described recently in Poland. The area consists of the exhibition pavilion, educational routs and panoramic viewing platform, which is located along the edge of the quarry. The palaeontological exhibition shows the unique Late Jurassic fossils of marine and terrestrial organisms, many of them new to science, that have been excavated in the quarry during the last eight years. Among the most important fossils are: ammonites, lobster-like decapod crustaceans, horseshoe crabs, actinopterygian fish, a cryptodiran turtle, ichthyosaurs, as well as a small terrestrial crocodyliform, pterosaurs and insects. In addition to the original fossils, the exhibition presents life-size reconstructions of animals, that inhabited the local seas and islands during the Late Jurassic. The palaeontological sites of Owadów-Brzezinki is referred to as a new »taphonomic window« of the Late Jurassic, providing insights about the evolution of life on Earth in the palaeogeographical and palaeoenvironmental context.

Wybrane przykłady kamienia naturalnego z Włoch i Niemiec zastosowane w obiektach architektonicznych Krakowa - krótka wycieczka geologiczna
(Wydawnictwa AGH, 2009) Górny, Zbigniew
The aim of the following paper is to propose a trip to selected sites in Kraków where decorative stones imported from Italy and Germany were used. The main types of stones are presented together with their commercial names, quarries, age and decorative values. Additionally, the author identified the regions in Italy and Germany from which stones were supplied. The most popular Italian decorative stones are the Carrara marbles quarried in the vicinity of Carrara and the »Ammonitico rosso« limestones extracted in the neighbourhood of Verona. Interesting are also porphyries from Trident, limestones from Brescia, travertines from Tivoli and granites and travertines quarried in Sardynia. In Germany large deposits of Upper Jurassic limestones are located in northern Bavaria (Franconia).
