Debryty kohezyjne warstw istebniańskich (senon górny - paleocen) na zachód od Skawy
(Wydawnictwa AGH, 2005) Strzeboński, Piotr Andrzej
Cohesive debrites of the Istebna Beds occur within the western part of the Silesian Unit of the Outer Flysch Carpathians. The lithofacies described represents siliciclastic deposits consisting of mud-sandy matrix and scattered, psephite-size clasts. The cohesive debrites originated from sediment gravity flows that were generated on the slope of sedimentary basin by mass-movements and were deposed as aprons by submarine, cohesive debris flows. The highest content of the cohesive debrites (12% of the succession thickness) has been recorded within the Istebna Beds of the Silesian Beskid Mts, the medium in the Beskid Mały Mts (7%) and the lowest within the Moravian Beskid Mts (2%). Most frequently the lithofacies presented occurs within the Lower Istebna Sandstones, while the cohesive debrites with the biggest lithoclasts occur within the top part of the Lower Istebna Shales. The exotic material with dominating crystalline rocks, mostly gneisses, schists and granitoids, makes up 25% of the described deposits (exotic cohesive debrites). Various types of limestones prevail among much rarer clasts of sedimentary rocks and the amount of the limestones distinctly increases going to the east.

Geological characterisation of the Krynica Subunit in the vicinity of Krościenko on the Dunajec river (Magura Nappe, Outer Flysch Carpathians)
(Wydawnictwa AGH, 2005) Chrustek, Monika; Golonka, Jan; Janeczko, Agnieszka; Stachyrak, Filip
The aim of this work is to present geological structure of the Krynica Subunit of the Magura Nappe in southern part of the Gorce and Beskid Sądecki Mountains and along the Pieniny Klippen Belt (PKB). Formal lithostratigraphic units were distinguished on the basis of mapping. The lithostratigraphic units are the age of Middle Paleocene - Middle Eocene age. Flysch deposits were classified as the Szczawnica Formation with the Życzanów Member, Zarzecze Formation and Piwniczna Member of the Magura Formation in the investigated area. Strike-slip faults and faulted formations complicate the geological structure of the described region. The creation some of these faults is connected with andesite intrusions. Strong faulted strata occurs in the southern part of the region along the overthrust of the Pieniny Klippen Belt on the Magura Nappe. The contact line between the Pieniny Klippen Belt and Paleogene of the Magura Nappe is heterogeneous. The evidences of it are outcrops of klippen, which occur within the Szczawnica Formation and the Zarzecze Formation.

Phanerozoic paleoenvironment and paleolithofacies maps. Cenozoic
(Wydawnictwa AGH, 2009) Golonka, Jan
The paper presents the detailed plate tectonic, paleogeographic, paleoenvironment and plaeolithofacies maps for seven Cenozoic time intervals. Thirty five maps, generated using PLATES and PALEOMAP programs, contain information about plate tectonics, paleoenvironment, and paleolithofacies during Paleocene, Eocene, Oligocene, Miocene and Pliocene, time slices. The spatial reconstruction of basin architectures during their origin, expansion, closure and inversion as well as the dynamic of intrabasinal ridges were obtained by palinspastic modeling. This modeling utilized paleomagnetic data and stratigraphic-facies analysis of basins and ridges. Information contained within global and regional papers were selected and posted on the maps. The detailed paleoenvironment and plaeolithofacies zones were distinguished within the basins. The paleogeographic maps illustrate the geodynamic evolution of Earth from Late Cretaceous to Neogene, spreading and origin of new oceans, oceans closing, collisions, continents accretion and origin of new supercontinents.
