abstract = {Upper Triassic fossil plants are well documented from the Keuper of Europe. Carnian and Rhaetian floras are rich in a variety of plant taxa, whereas in comparison, the Norian is limited to a few localities with poorly preserved fossil plant communities showing low diversification. The Norian Grabowa Formation in ZawiercieMarciszów, Upper Silesia, southern Poland, contains fossils of arborescent gymnosperms, including petrified conifer trunks. In this study, we present a fossil plant assemblage, containing fragmented plant parts in multiple forms of preservation, i.e., permineralised trunks and rooting structures, stems compressions, dispersed cuticles, and megaspores. Analysis of the macromorphological characters proved the presence of gymnosperms, including the arborescent conifer Agathoxylon cf. keuperianum, known already from this locality from fragments of charcoalified wood. Sphenophytes are represented by disarticulated stems of Equisetites sp., and Neocalamites sp. The variation in plant fossils indicates the possibility of higher plant diversity. Analysis of cuticles, macerated from different plant-bearing lithologies, revealed a variety of conifer foliage, expressed as five cuticulae dispersae morphotypes (needle-leaf Elatocladus-type and scale-leaf Pagio-Brachyphyllum-like). Plant fossils at Zawiercie-Marciszów are preserved in calcareous mudstones and micritic limestone concretions, developed in a fluvial environment. The presence of sphenophyte stems (Equisetites and Neocalamites) indicates that local conditions were more humid and suitable for spore-producing plants, appearing in the mid-Norian tectonic-pluvial episode, recorded in the Grabowa Fm. © 2023, Polish Geological Society.

Numerous miospore taxa were documented and also contained well-preserved and varied plant remains, scolecodonts, acritarchs, chitinozoans, organic tentaculitoids, and bioclasts of uncertain biological affinity. Aneurospora extensa, Geminospora aurita, Samarisporites triangulatus and other documented taxa allowed us to establish two local miospore zones: the Givetian ‘Geminospora’ extensa zone and the Givetian–Frasnian Geminospora aurita zone. The time interval of these two zones shows the impoverishment in taxonomic diversity of microflora related to the rapid climate changes that are associated with the global Taghanic Event. The palynofacies analysis indicated a shallow-shelf environment with significant terrestrial input that was controlled by transgressive-regressive cycles, which confirmed the dynamic palaeoenvironmental changes.

abstract = {A tephra-rich cherty-clayey Famennian succession within the major Brzeźnica olistostrome in the Bardo Mountains, Central Sudetes, SW Poland, preserves a record of the lost ocean later incorporated into the Variscan orogenic belt. Fluctuating but mostly oligotrophic regimes and low primary production levels were influenced by weak upwelling below the perennial oxygen minimum zone, which controlled the interplay between biosiliceous and siliciclastic deposition in the oceanic basin, with episodic oxygen deficiency. The Hangenberg Black Shale has been identified in this oceanic setting based on its characteristics described worldwide (including mercury enrichments). A tectonic uplift of the sediment source area near the Devonian- Carboniferous boundary, recorded in the distinguishing provenance signal of old continental crust, was paired with a global transgression, anoxia, and volcanic episode in an interglacial interval. Assuming paleogeographic affinity with the Bavarian facies of the Saxothuringian terrane, we interpret the allochthonous sediments as part of an accretionary prism that was gravitationally redeposited into the late orogenic basin in front of advancing Variscan nappes. The oceanic basin parental to the Bardo pelagic succession is therefore thought to represent a tract of the waning Saxothuringian Ocean in the Peri-Gondwanan paleogeographic domain that was eventually subducted beneath the Brunovistulian margin of Laurussia. The sediments of the Bardo Ocean basin also include a distal record of Famennian explosive volcanic activity that was likely related to a continental magmatic arc whose remnants are preserved as the Vrbno Group of the East Sudetes. © 2022, Geological Society of America Bulletin.

abstract = {We present a preliminary assessment of a new Lower Devonian biota from an exposure of the Zagórze Formation at Bukowa Góra quarry in the Łysogóry Region of the Holy Cross Mountains, Poland. Abundant plant macrofossils preserved as carbonaceous compressions, adpressions, and permineralizations occur alongside a diverse assemblage of microfossils. Palynostratigraphic analysis places the fossiliferous sequences in the narrow Pro. Zone within the AP Zone of the douglastownense-eurypterota Miospore Zone, which corresponds to the upper part of the Emsian. Palynofacies analysis confirms that these sediments formed in a shallow-water, alluvial environment. The biota contains a rich assemblage of freshwater and brackish water organisms and fully terrestrial ones. Common elements include filamentous green algae, arthropods, terrestrial fungi-like filaments, nematophytes and abundant land plants. Scolecodonts and acritarchs are much rarer, suggesting limited marine influence. The new flora contains stem-group vascular plants, lycophytes and euphyllophytes. Among the permineralized remains is some of the earliest evidence of complex vascular systems, including cruciform and plate-like stelar organizations and secondary wood. We record the earliest fossil evidence of a dissected stele of the cladoxylopsid type. Innovations such as these were fundamental to the later evolution of arborescent growth in plants and the development of forest ecosystems. The biota complements and extends our knowledge of Emsian biotas in Euramerica just prior to the rapid changes that marked the Middle Devonian. It provides insights into a diverse early terrestrial community and raises further questions about the affinities and roles of arthropods and nematophytales in these ecosystems. © 2022 Elsevier B.V.},

abstract = {The middle and upper parts of the Skały Fm, Early to Middle Givetian in age, were investigated in four sections at Miłoszów Wood in the Łysogóry Region (northern region of the Holy Cross Mountains; central Poland). The dating is based on conodonts (Polygnathus timorensis Zone to the later part of the Polygnathus varcus/Polygnathus rhenanus Zone; early Polygnathus ansatus Zone cannot be excluded) and spores (Ex1–2 subzones) and, coupled with cartographic analysis and geophysical investigation, allows correlation within the strongly faulted succession. Significant lateral facies variations within the carbonate ramp depositional system in comparison with the better studied Grzegorzowice–Skały section, about 3 km distant, are documented, thanks to conodont-based correlation of both successions. Foraminifers, fungi, sponges, rugose and tabulate corals, medu-sozoans, microconchids and cornulitids, polychaetes (scolecodonts), molluscs (bivalves; rostroconchs; and gas-tropods), arthropods (trilobites and ostracods), bryozoans, hederelloids, ascodictyids, brachiopods, echinoderms (mostly crinoids; rare echinoids; holuthurians; and ophiocistoids), conodonts, fish, plants (prasinophytes; chloro-phycophytes; and land plant spores), and acritarchs are present. Brachiopods are the most diverse phylum present (68 species), other richly represented groups are bryozoans and echinoderms; in contrast, cephalopods and trilobites are low in diversity and abundance. The muddy, middle to outer ramp biota (200 marine taxa; including 170 species of marine animals; 22 photoautotrophs; 6 forams) represents a mixture of allochthonous shallower-wa-ter communities (upper BA3), including storm-and possibly tsunami-affected coral mounds, and autochthonous deep-water soft-bottom brachiopod (e.g.; Bifida–Echinocoelia) communities (BA 4–5). The richness and diversity of the Miłoszów biota is relatively high, comparable with other approximately coeval pre-Taghanic ecosystems during the Devonian climatic deterioration (cooling). Preliminary data indicate that in the Holy Cross Mountains, no large-scale replacement of brachiopod (and probably many other benthic ones; like crinoids) communities took place between the Early–Middle Givetian and the Early Frasnian, in contrast to the demise of the Hamilton/ Upper Tully fauna in the Appalachian Basin. Such a similarity of pre-and post-Taghanic faunas does not exclude the occurrence of environmental perturbations and transient community turnovers, caused by immigrations during the Taghanic Biocrisis, but evidences the successful recovery of the indigenous biota. © 2022, Polish Geological Society.

abstract = {Coal seams in the Upper Silesian Coal Basin vanish within the Carboniferous Upper Silesian Sandstone Series and below an unconformity marking the Carboniferous top surface. Changes in the geochemical, mineralogical, petrological and palynological characteristics of gangue rocks associated with the vanished seams record what happened. The observed changes could have been caused by (1) coal-seam paleofire, (2) peat combustion, (3) igneous intrusion, (4) metasomatism and/or (5) weathering. Multifaceted research on samples collected at the Jas-Mos mining area, a part of the operating Jastrzębie-Bzie Coal Mine that are representative of different geological settings in the northern and southern parts of the mining area, point to intra-deposit paleofire as the most plausible reason for the disappearance. Biomarkers enabled recognition of differences in heating duration and oxygen access. Coal seams in the south burned quickly with abundant oxygen supply. Seams in the north pyrolyzed for an extended time under conditions of limited oxygen. Though other methods used proved less sensitive, all confirmed low (100–150◦C) paleotemperature heating. Overall, the reason for the local disappearance of the coal seams, making their exploitation difficult and unprofitable, can be assigned to a variety of different processes in a complex overlapping history of variable weathering, heating due to local endogenic fires and, probably, earlier peat combustion. © 2021 by the authors.

abstract = {Two Upper Devonian to Lower Carboniferous sections, namely the Bulongguoer and Haer (Gennaren area) in the Junggar Basin, Central Asian Orogenic Belt, in northwestern China were examined with regard to ichnology and palynology. The deposits of the Hongguleleng Formation and Namu Member of the Heishantou Formation, respectively, are mostly unbioturbated or poorly bioturbated, with poorly diversified trace fossils, which indicate unfavourable conditions for the burrowing benthic community during the Late Devonian and Early Carboniferous. The main factor governing the growth of the bioturbating population was the rapid sedimentation of fine-grained, volcanic material documented as tempestites, which buried the benthic fauna. In the Bulongguoer section, the presence of miospores Teichertospora torquata and Grandispora gracilis enabled identification of the broad Teichertospora torquata-Grandispora gracilis Miospore Zone from the transitional Frasnian/Famennian interval. More accurate identification of palynostratigraphical levels (DE and CZ Miospore zones) is only tentative. On the basis of palynofacies analysis, samples from the lower Bulongguoer section indicate deposition in more proximal conditions, whereas samples from the top of the section indicate deposition in a more distal environment. In the Haer section, only a general biostratigraphic indication for the Tournaisian was possible, owing to poor preservation of organic matter. © 2021 Geological Society of China},

abstract = {A wide range of proxies (organic and inorganic geochemistry; gamma-ray spectrometry; microfacies; framboidal pyrite analysis) were applied in order to decipher changes in depositional conditions during the mid-Tournaisian anoxic event, referred to as the Lower Alum Shale Event (LASE) in the Polish part of the Laurussia basin. The LASE part of the section, unlike older Tournaisian deposits, is characterised by high concentrations of isorenieratane, palaeorenieratane, and their diagenetic derivatives, the occurrence of 2-methyl-3-iso-butyl-maleimides, and high values of the sterane-to-hopane ratio. The predominance of tiny pyrite framboids, inorganic data such as low values of the Th/U and high values of the Corg/P and V/Cr ratios, and generally higher enrichments of redox-sensitive metals such as U, V, Mo, Pb, and Zn and depletion in Mn, all suggest anoxic/euxinic conditions on the sea-bottom. The results of our investigations, especially Co, Mn, Cd, and Mo distribution patterns, demonstrate that enhanced primary productivity in the water column was responsible for a high degree of organic carbon burial rather than preservation in restricted conditions on the seafloor. This elevated productivity may have been generated by the upwelling of nutrient-rich deep water, an increase in volcanic activity and volcanogenic oceanic fertilisation, or both. Volcanically driven mid-Tournaisian climatic changes (warming), as manifested by high Zr concentrations and Hg anomalies, may have been responsible for the deglaciation of Gondwana resulting in the global crenulata transgression. The global rise in sea level and high level of organic productivity were responsible for the development of anoxic conditions and the halt of carbonate production, as reflected by drastic changes of facies not only in the sections investigated, but in many other parts of the world as well. © 2021 Elsevier B.V.},

abstract = {For the first time, Late Devonian palynofacies analyses of the Lower Sappington shale units U1A─D was carried out at Peak 9559 (Sacajawea) and Ainger Lake in the Bridger Range of Montana. Diagnostic spore species Apiculiretusispora verrucosa, Diducites mucronatus and D. versabilis allowed the correlation of our U1A-D with the European Late Famennian A. verrucosa-V. hystricosus Palynozone. The first appearance of Gorgonisphaeridium winslowiae in U1 is the oldest record before the inception of Retispora lepidophyta. Four palynofacies correlative with U1A-D and new findings of invertebrates and microfossils allow the interpretation of paleoenvironmental changes. Amorphous organic matter, marine phytoplankton and pyrite in black shales of U1A-B indicate anoxic bottom conditions occurred in offshore marine environments. An erosional fossiliferous phosphatic lag above these units confirms a regional SB. U1C black shales composed by AOM, marine and terrestrial phytoplankton, land–derived remains and pyrite reveal shallower, dysoxic-anoxic, brackish water environments. A thin layer at the base of Unit 1D yielded AOM and marine phytoplankton and low terrestrial input indicating dysoxic-anoxic conditions were maintained. The lack of organic matter and the presence of invertebrates and microfossils in a thin green fossiliferous mudstone supports the establishment of normal, oxygenated marine conditions maintained in the basal Middle Sappington Member (U2). These two thin units are not part of the underlying anoxic black shale (U1A-B) sequence as commonly was over-simplified. Instead, they are part of a transgressive interval with the basal Middle Sappington. A correlation of the U1 shale interval is established with the global multiphase Dasberg Event. © 2019 Elsevier B.V.},

All samples were collected from the 54 m long section.

All samples were strongly dominated by the amorphous organic matter and by marine palynomorphs, mostly prasinophytes. The analysis of the relative frequency, fluctuations in acritarchs diversity, and morphotype variability generally suggest deposition in an open-marine, deep-water basin. Based on palynofacies analysis, the section was divided into three palynofacies: lowest (fully marine; I), middle (fully marine but closer to the shoreline; II), and the topmost palynofacies (III) which was also marine, but with a weak regressive signal. © 2018 Elsevier B.V.},

Each specimen is represented solely by vegetative organs. On the basis of the material collected, a new algal genus and species has been formally erected. Vittella dixii nov. gen., nov. sp. (Order ?Bryopsidales) includes thalli consisting of long bundles of hair-like filament structures arranged in parallel fashion to the thallus length. Some other algal remains are regarded as Inocaulis-like forms. They possess long, flat blades with entire margins, and are ornamented with very dense, hair-like projections. The rest of the specimens found so far has been illustrated and tentatively classified as probably belonging to either Bryopsidales or Dasycladales algae. The exceptional preservation of the non-calcified algal thalli investigated suggests that special taphonomic conditions have prevailed during sedimentation of the lower part of the Famennian Kowala section. These may have involved rather rapid burial in oxygen-restricted (dysoxic and anoxic) sea-bottom environment, inhibiting the activities of scavengers and bioturbators, as well as oxidative degradation. The preservation of the algae, together with sedimentological and geochemical characteristics of the host rocks indicate that they rather represent parautochthonous assemblage, buried close to their natural habitat. © 2016 Elsevier Masson SAS.},

The coexistence of Nematasketum spp., with the dispersed phytodebris (resembling banded tubes), and similarity of their skeletal elements suggests possible relationship between those two groups. The presence of unrelated organic remains within the Nematasketum sp. tissues suggests a parasitic or saprotrophic nature of some nematophytes, as is the case in some terrestrial fungi.

abstract = {Vertebrate coprolites derived from Upper Triassic terrestrial deposits of southern Poland have been subjected to various analytical methods in order to retrieve information about their composition, producer's diet and nature of the microscopic structures preserved in the groundmass. Morphologically, the coprolites have been classified into four morphotypes, of which only three were further analysed due to their good state of preservation. Their groundmass are composed of francolite, a carbonate-rich apatite, in which abundant coccoid structures are preserved. Based on various microscopic and organic geochemical techniques, they are interpreted as fossilized bacteria which could have mediated the phosphatization of the faeces. The thin sectioning revealed that the coprolites consist of those containing exclusively bone remains, and those preserving both bone and plant remains. Those coprolites preserving only vertebrate remains are suggestive for exclusive carnivorous diet of the producers. However, the interpretation of coprolites consisting of both vertebrate and plant remains is more debatable. Although they may attest to omnivory, it cannot be excluded that potential producers were carnivorous and occasionally ingested plants, or accidentally swallowed plant material during feeding. The latter may involve predation or scavenging upon other herbivorous animals. The potential producers may have been animals that foraged in or near aquatic habitats, such as semi-aquatic archosaurs and/or temnospondyls. This is supported by the presence of ostracode and other aquatic arthropod remains, and fish scales within the coprolites, as well as by the presence of specific biomarkers such as phytanic and pristanic acids, which are characteristic constituents of fish oil. The preservation of such labile organic compounds as sterols, palmitin, stearin or levoglucosan attests for rapid, microbially-mediated mineralization of the faeces at very early stages of diagenesis. © 2015 Elsevier B.V.},

abstract = {Carbonate cobbles from the lower Famennian (crepida conodont Zone) brachiopod shell beds of the Russkiy Brod Quarry (Central Devonian Field; Russia) have been investigated with respect to paleoecology and paleoenvironment. The cobbles, composed of similar shell bioclasts as the host deposits, were eroded from lithified shell beds during intervals of non-deposition. The smooth surfaces and the presence of borings and encrustations on all sides suggest that the cobbles were periodically transported and overturned.The fact that all the bioerosion traces are encrusted and none of the encrusters were bioeroded indicates that the first colonizers of the cobbles were worm-like suspension feeders, leaving long, cylindrical borings (Trypanites). The encrusting organisms are dominated by spirally-coiled microconchid tubeworms, followed by cornulitids, productid brachiopods, hederelloids, foraminifera, enigmatic Ascodictyon and trepostome bryozoans.The high abundance but low-diversity brachiopod fauna and general rarity of such stenohaline taxa as echinoderms in the shell beds or bryozoans on the cobbles suggest that the salinity fluctuated. The presence of dolomite crystals in both the host deposit and cobbles suggests that salinity increased from normal-marine to a higher salinity level during colonization of the cobbles. In fact, as shown by the facies and palynofacies data, the cobble-bearing deposits represent near-shore, restricted environments created during the first phases of transgression of the early Famennian that followed the regional regression at the Frasnian-Famennian transition. In such shallow, restricted settings a higher salinity could have appeared seasonally during a hot and dry climate.As with the microconchids from the aftermath of the end-Permian mass extinction, those from the post-crisis early Famennian interval of Russia were also dominant due to unstable environmental conditions. Here, at least in the case of the Russkiy Brod, the periodic higher salinity episodes may have discouraged other encrusters and thus promoted the settlement of the opportunistic microconchids. © 2014 Elsevier B.V.},

abstract = {A rich and diverse assemblage of arthropods and non-biomineralized macroalgae occurs in the Upper Devonian marine deposits of the Holy Cross Mountains, central Poland. The phrase Kowala Lagerstätte is herein proposed for the fossil-bearing deposits confined to the lower Famennian marly shale and limestone succession of the famous Kowala Quarry. The arthropod fauna is represented by phosphatic exoskeletal remains that still preserve the fine micro-ornamentation of the cuticle. The fauna includes crustaceans and crustacean-like taxa such as thylacocephalans, phyllocarids and angustidontids (in order of abundance). The non-biomineralized algae, represented by at least three morphotypes, occur as carbonaceous compressions of their thalli while still preserving fine details including bundles of thin tubular projections. Although their general appearance is reminiscent of some Early Palaeozoic non-calcified Dasycladales algae, their true taxonomic position is still uncertain. Lithology, as well as faunal and phytoplankton content point to a pelagic sedimentary environment. Impoverished benthic fauna, sediment lamination and geochemical signatures indicate at least periodic bottom-water dysoxic to anoxic conditions. Thus, the preservation of arthropod cuticle and non-calcified algae was primarily governed by oxygen-deficient bottom waters that prevented bioturbation and scavenging during their burial. © 2014 Lethaia Foundation.

Based on palynomorph evidence, the age of the samples studied is late Lochkovian, not older than the NM Oppel Miospore Zone, specifically the Si Lineage Zone. The presence of acritarchs and chitinozoans points to dominantly marine depositional conditions. However, a regressive environmental change to-ward more brackish conditions is indicated by a decrease in the taxonomic diversity of acritarchs in the topmost samples, the simultaneous disappearance of chitinozoans, and an increase in leiosphaerid frequency. Furthermore, evolution of limestone microfacies demonstrates a progressive transition from a shrinking marine basin toward a brackish, storm-af-fected muddy lagoon, manifested by recurrent profusion of impoverished, mostly opportunistic and euryhaline shelly benthos (nuculanid bivalves; leperditicopids and other ostracods; terebratulid brachiopods), chaetetid demosponges and diverse ichthyofauna. The association of plant (mainly nematophytes and some tracheids) and animal (eurypterid; ?scor-pion; and possibly other arthropod) remains points to the presence of nearby Early Devonian wetland vegetation, provid-ing food and shelter for various semi-aquatic and other terrestrial arthropods.

abstract = {Presented for the first time in this paper are the results of a detailed multi-proxy investigation conducted on the Hangenberg Black Shale (HBS) from the Polish part of the Laurussian Shelf, which provide details about the environmental conditions in existence during deposition of the shale and the role played by anoxic conditions in the mass extinction events that occurred at the end of the Devonian times. Inorganic and organic redox indicators indicate that bottom water redox conditions changed periodically from being mainly anoxic/euxinic to oxic or being partially depleted in oxygen. U/Th values above 1.25, Ni/Co values above 7 and V/(V. +. Ni) values above 0.8 recorded from the lower part of the HBS all point to anoxic/euxinic conditions being present, as do high total organic carbon contents (TOC) above 10% and degree of pyritisation (DOP) values around 0.75%. However, the presence of benthic fauna over the lower part of the HBS attests to opportunistic colonisation of the seafloor during oxic episodes. Evidence for similar episodes has also been recognised over the middle part of the HBS, e.g., U/Th values below 1.25, Ni/Co values below 4, V/(V. +. Ni) values below 0.8, TOC values of 3% to 5.5% and DOP values of 0.4% to 0.75%, plus the common occurrence of benthic fauna. Anoxic conditions returned during the deposition of the upper part of the HSB, though they were not as well developed as when the lower part of the shale was laid down.Of interest is the presence of small pyrite framboids and isorenieratene biomarkers in all the analysed samples, which suggest that euxinic conditions persisted in the photic zone of the water column. A twenty centimetre thick layer of volcanogenic deposits (tuffites) is present in the middle part of the HBS, the geochemical characteristics of which are typical of ocean floor basalts. The occurrence of volcanogenic material below and within the HBS, together with an absence of calcium carbonate over its upper part, the presence of abundant tetrads just above the black shale and a drastic decrease in faunal frequency in the upper part of the HBS imply that volcanism may have caused oceanic acidification (or hypercapnia) that in turn potentially may have influenced the Hangenberg mass extinction event. © 2012 Elsevier B.V.},

abstract = {Intriguing fossils encrusting oncoids and exhumed carbonate concretions are described from the Middle Jurassic (Bathonian) of Poland. The fossils, up to a few millimeters in diameter and preserved in a form of calcium carbonate, are characterized by a tubular, elongate shape with the external surface covered with distinctive semicircular to oval concavities. These tubes do not match any known fossils and do not represent trace fossils sensu stricto. They are similar to serpulid and/or sabellid polychaetes with which they are associated. The latter, however, have calcitic tubes and none are known to possess the concave structures that characterize the tubular fossils. The shape of the concavities and the presence of a carbonate lining within them suggest that the tubular fossils were originally covered with ooids, a few of which are still preserved in the concavities. These Middle Jurassic fossils may represent the fossilized remnants of agglutinated tubes formed by polychaete worms. Their greatest abundances are noted on media bearing thick microbial crusts (oncoidal in nature) on which they often form dense aggregations. This may indicate that the tube-building worms selected such media not only because they provided a suitable hard surface for settlement, but also because they were a rich source of food in the form of both microbes (Cyanophyta) and other organic matter present in the microbial mats. The selectivity of only ooids for tube building makes them dissimilar to any known recent tube-building polychaetes and, thus, the Middle Jurassic representatives are nonactualistic with respect to particle selection for the tube formation. © 2012 SEPM (Society for Sedimentary Geology).},

abstract = {Assemblages of plant and arthropod remains are reported from the Lower Devonian clastic deposits of the Upper Silesian and Malopolska blocks in southern Poland. Most of the plant and animal remains are palynologically dated as Pragian-Emsian/Eifelian. The plant material comprises higher plant cuticles with stomata classified as Drephanophycus and Sawdonia, and more enigmatic remains (nematophytes) classified as Nematothallus, Cosmochlaina and tubular banded tubes. They are associated with abundant and diverse miospores. Animal remains consist of eurypterid respiratory organs, the morphology of which may presumably point to their advance physiological properties, and cuticular remains of eurypterid and probably scorpion origin, as well as some remains of unknown affinity. The presence of such mixed assemblages in the Lower Devonian of Poland indicate marginal-marine and/or alluvial environments spreading in the southern margin of the Old Red Continent. The dominance of land-derived plant remains and simultaneous scarcity of marine acritarchs indicate that the environment was very weakly influenced by marine conditions. If nematophytes were really related to extant liverworts, as suggested by some workers, they, together with the other associated spore-producing plants, may strongly indicate moist environmental conditions, which may have offered suitable habitats for temporary eurypterid migrations onto land. □ Cuticles, eurypterids, Lower Devonian, nematophytes, Poland, spores. © 2010 The Authors, Lethaia © 2010 The Lethaia Foundation.},

Lower and Middle Devonian deposits in this area have never been investigated palynologically at such a refined scale. Samples were obtained from eleven boreholes, a trench, and a quarry representing the Upper Pragian to Eifelian interval which is recognized as a switching point from siliciclastic to carbonate deposition. In many cases, the investigated samples were obtained from transitional facies where faunal information is insufficient and only palynostratigraphical data is reliable. The oldest samples were dated as being part of the polygonalis-emsiensis Zone (Su Interval Zone in Streel et al.; 1987), while the younger ones are tentatively dated to the lower part of the velata-langii spore Zone. Palynofacies observations suggest terrestrial to shallow-marine conditions during the transitional period between Early and Mid Devonian times. The upper Pragian to Emsian sedimentary rocks from the Upper Silesian Block and the Małopolska Block were deposited in marginal marine and/or alluvial conditions. Fully marine conditions prevailed only in the upper Emsian in the Łysogóry Block. During the early Eifelian similar marine conditions were established across the investigated region. Spore color analyses have been carried out revealing different palaeotemperatures from over several dozen degrees to 200 °C.

abstract = {The Upper Famennian Annulata Black Shales are exposed in the deep-shelf successions of the famous Kowala Quarry and the Ściegnia outcrop in the Holy Cross Mountains, Southern Poland. At Kowala, the twin Annulata anoxic events are manifest as two organic-rich (TOC up to 23. wt.%), finely laminated, fossiliferous black shales, each up to 0.6. m thick, separated by marl and massive or nodular limestone layers. The bituminous interval is condensed in the Ściegnia outcrop to a single 10. cm thick horizon. In both sections, the ABS levels date to the upper part of the Upper Palmatolepis trachytera conodont Zone, corresponding to the Diducites versabilis-. Grandispora famenensis miospore Zone. The Annulata Events are marked by a flourishing pelagic biota (the opportunistic bivalve Guerichia venusta; platyclymenids; the goniatite Erfoudites; entomozoacean ostracods; and prasinophyte algae). The initial phase of anoxia saw a bloom of specialized conodont fauna, mostly deep-water outer-shelf palmatolepids such as Palmatolepis glabra lepta, before the second anoxic pulse caused a significant crisis amongst this community. Isorenieratane and gammacerane biomarkers indicate the development of photic zone anoxia during both phases. Degree of Pyritisation (DOP) values (estimated from the TOC-TS-Fe diagram) and the uranium-thorium proxies, as well as trace metals enrichments suggest that bottom-water conditions became dysoxic during deposition of the Lower ABS, while the more distinctly transgressive Upper ABS records anoxic/euxinic deposition during the later Event. When combined with the framboid data, however, unstable anoxia punctuated by short-term oxygenation events are assumed especially for the initial ABS phase, a crucial factor for effective nutrient recirculation from bottom waters to the photic zone and consequent phytoplankton blooming. This organic-rich level is easily identified amongst the background Upper Famennian rhythmic limestone-shaly succession, which was deposited under dysoxic to oxic conditions, with episodic anoxia developing only in the water column. Other well-known Late Devonian anoxic/high productivity episodes, recorded in the Dasberg, Kowala and Hangenberg black shales, also might partly to follow interglacial deepening pulses. These deepenings episodically reversed the overall regressive trend that resulted from a stepwise long-term climate change towards the end-Devonian Gondwanan glaciation. © 2010 Elsevier B.V.},

Incomplete and complete tetrads represent mostly Vallatisporites spp., supplemented by Grandispora, Retusotriletes and Apiculiretusispora. Additional peculiar morphotypes, marked by anomalous overall shape and ornamentation, are interpreted as mutated varieties of Vallatisporites based on intermediate morphological stages, connecting them with this well known genus. This relatively high aberrant palynomorph frequency is accompanied by volcanic ash intercalations, as well as by charcoal debris and polycyclic aromatic biomarkers indicative of forest wildfire. Thus, the anomalous spore morphology could reflect the mutagenic effect of regional acidification due to explosive volcanism. However, palynological literature data from NW France and Canada highlight the possibility of a supra-regional mutated miospore signal near the Devonian-Carbon -iferous boundary, and there is need for high-resolution studies of the LN Zone to examine this. The end-Permian scenario of abnormal floral growth in immensely stressed habitats may therefore apply to other potentially volcanically-induced biotic turnovers.},

abstract = {Integrated palynological, organic and inorganic geochemical and petrographical methods have been used for deciphering the depositional redox conditions and character of organic matter of the Famennian Dasberg event horizon from the deep-shelf Kowala succession of the Holy Cross Mountains. The ages of the investigated samples have been established, using miospore data, as VF (Diducites versabilis-Grandispora famenensis) and LV (Retispora lepidophyta-Apiculiretusispora verrucosa) miospore Zones of the Middle/Upper Famennian. In the standard conodont zonation, this corresponds to the uppermost postera to lowermost praesulcata Zones. The presence of green sulphur bacteria biomarkers and dominance of small-sized framboids together with the presence of large framboids and low values of the U/Th ratio may indicate that during sedimentation of the lower Dasberg shale, intermittent anoxia occurred in the water column, or the anoxic conditions prevailed in the upper part of the water column, while the bottom waters were oxygenated, at least briefly. Deposition of the upper Dasberg shale was characterized by both bottom water and water column anoxia. The lack of acritarcha taxa from these intervals could have been due to anoxia in the photic zone. Moreover, organic content is high in those samples. There is no geochemical evidence for anoxia during sedimentation of the deposits sandwiched between the lower and upper Dasberg shales, or in the deposits which underlie and overlie both Dasberg shale horizons. The two discrete anoxic events are interpreted to be the result of major transgressions and the blooming of primary producers. Above the Dasberg shales, small fragments of charcoal and raised concentrations of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons are detected. This supports the presence of wildfires during deposition of shales just above the boundary of VF/LV palynological zones. Temperatures calculated from the fusinite reflectance values suggest that the charcoal was formed in low-temperature ground and/or surface fires. The typical marine character of sedimentation combined with the high proportion of charcoals suggests that wildfires were large-scale, and that there was intensive transport of terrestrial material. The main causes of intensive wildfires were a significant rise of O2 in the atmosphere and important progress in the land plant diversity during Late Devonian times. Palynofacies studies suggest that the transgression corresponds to the part IIf of the Late Devonian sea-level curve. © Cambridge University Press 2010.},

abstract = {Geochemical and palynological investigation of the Lower to Middle Frasnian reef-to-basin succession at the well-known Kowala Quarry (Holy Cross Mountains) demonstrates the variable character of organic matter (OM) deposited in different oxidative-reductive conditions. During sedimentation of the basinal deposits, anoxic conditions in the water column prevailed. In the organic-rich sediments deposited during the Palmatolepis punctata Zone (set D), anoxia occurred in the photic zone, as inferred from the presence of isorenieratane, aryl isoprenoids and gammacerane. In the same kind of deposits, but occurring during the Palmatolepis hassi Zone (set F), anoxia apparently occurred mainly in the deeper parts of the basin and only sporadically reached the photic zone. This interpretation is based on the lack of isorenieratane, traces of aryl isoprenoids and the presence of gammacerane in the investigated samples. The basinal clay-enriched sediments of sets D and F are divided by an organic-poor set E, typical for the carbonate platform (fore-reef) environment characterized by oxic conditions. A palynostratigraphical study of the Frasnian section from the Kowala Quarry allowed recognition of two miospore zones: Geminospora semilucensa-Perotrilites donensis (SD) and Archaeoperisaccus ovalis-Verrucosisporites grumosus (OG). Relatively small quantitative and qualitative changes of the organic particles (miospores; tracheids; prasinophytes and acritarchs) are interpreted primarily in terms of sea-level fluctuations and enhanced productivity. In particular, the appearance of abundant, abnormally large mature leiospheres in set D can be the result of progressive eutrophication, related to environmental changes recorded in the recently detected major positive carbon isotope anomaly. As during the Frasnian-Famennian mass extinction interval, this eutrophication could have been stimulated by a rapid increase in primary production and subsequently expanding anoxic conditions, but it is evident only in the early phase of the Middle Frasnian δ13C excursion. The processes of the secondary hydrothermal fluid migration, taking place after the lithification of the sediments, caused partial OM oxidation. The products of these processes are such phenyl derivatives of aromatic hydrocarbons as phenylphenanthrenes, terphenyls, phenyldibenzothiophenes and phenyldibenzofurans. Moreover, an oxygen compound rarely described from sedimentary OM, dibenzo-p-dioxin and its methyl- and dimethyl-derivatives, seems to be the additional product of hydrothermal OM oxidation. © 2008 Elsevier B.V.

abstract = {The coal seam No. 207 was a subject of palynological and petrographic studies. According to the results of the vitrinite random reflectance measurements supplemented by moisture and calorific value determinations, the rank of this coal is matching the boundary between sub-bituminous and bituminous coals. The aim was to reconstruct the environmental conditions during the biochemical stage of seam formation, as well as the facies development throughout the seam profile. The maceral (incident and fluorescence mode) and microlithotype compositions (incident light) supplemented by palynological analyses, show that there were two main facies developments. In the authors opinion, they correspond with a phase of ombrogenous, raised bog marked by the presence of crassidurite with Densosporites variabilis and a wet-forest swamp phase represented by vitrite and clarite with more diverse spore assemblage including densospores. Other minor but distinctive sediments, a cannel layer and a reeds facies, both occurring in the lower part of the seam. Above the tonstein horizon, a dry forest type of sedimentation is recognized. © 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.},

abstract = {A palynological study of the uppermost Famennian section from Kowala Quarry (Holy Cross Mountains; central Poland) allowed recognition of two miospore zones: LV (Retispora lepidophyta-Apiculiretusispora verrucosa) and LN (Retispora lepidophyta-Verrucosisporites nitidus). Based on palynology and sedimentology, the black shale within the upper part of the section is identified as equivalent to the Hangenberg Black Shale, which is known globally. This black shale contains compounds characteristic of photic zone euxinia, including isorenieratane and its derivatives. Such compounds are absent in the organic-poor marls and shales occurring below the LN Zone, and are present only as traces in the layers just above the black shale, indicating fluctuations in the oxygen minimum zone during uppermost Famennian sedimentation. Palynofacies show high amounts of amorphous organic matter and prasinophyte concentrations in the black shale, and a subsequent significant decrease of amorphous organic matter concomitant with a rapid increase of terrestrial input (mainly miospores with common tetrads) in the layers above the black shale. This supports the relatively rapid change in the taxonomic composition of phytoplankton caused by fluctuations of the chemocline. The whole succession corresponds to one sea-level rise and fall. The presence of high concentrations of peri-condensed polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and large amounts of small charcoal particles at the Hangenberg event horizon indicate the occurrence of wildfires. Such observations suggest that atmospheric O22 levels had exceeded the critical threshold of 13%, above which wildfires may occur, by latest Famennian time. © 2007 Cambridge University Press.},

Palynological examination of samples from boreholes allowed to recognize standard miospore zonation from VF of the Visean zone up to Sl of the Westphalian. Macerals and microlithotypes of hard coal has been analyzed and the reflectance of vitrinite has been measured. The latter indicates that the stage of thermal maturity of the organic matter in Jachówka 2K and Zawoja 1 is low (between 0.77 and 0.78%); colour of miospores, another indicator of organic matter maturity, in the material studied is from 3 to 5 (according to scale of Batten, 1984, Gaupp & Batten, 1985). These results agree with the results of vitrinite reflectance studies and show that the Carboniferous sediments were never exposed to temperatures above 130°C. Lithostratigraphic position of boreholes studied has been achieved with help of standard geophysical logging. The deposits studied represent Carboniferous lithostratigraphical units: Malinowice = Zalas Beds, Paralic Series, Upper Silesian Sandstone Series (?), Mudstone Series (?), Cracow Sandstone Series. This is indicated by lithological, geophysical and paleontological results of the present study, and also by correlation of those data with neighbouring boreholes and by interpretation of thickness and distribution trends observed in this part of the USCB.},

After chemical maceration using first 36% solution of hydrochloric acid and then 45% solution of hydrofluoric acid, the macerat became decanted and sieved using nylon riddle of the diameter of 10μ. Such a condensed macerat was used to prepare standard microscope preparations which were then preserved using Petropoxy glue. This way, microflora associations were protected from drying. The preperations were subjected to microscopic planimetric analysis in a transmitted light. To obtain larger amount of palinological material, chemical maceration was carried out twice. Planimetric palinological analysis revealed the presence of a rich spectrum of the following monosaccatae pollen grains: Florinites luberae, F. grandis, F. minutus, F. pumicosus, F. mediapudens, Potonieisporites novicus, P. rimosus, P. neglectus, P. grandis, P. permollis, P. lemniscatus, P. concinus, Wilsonites cf. vesicatus, Cordaitina uralensis, Plicatipollenites gondwanensis and Crucisaccites latisulcatus. Among the bisaccatae pollen grains, the following species were determined: Gardenasporites pinnatus, Crustaesporites globosus, Vesicaspora potoniei, Pseudopodocarpus expresus and Jugasporites delasaucei. All these examples of microflora clearly indicate Lower Permian age. It significantly differs from the Carboniferous association determined below. The botanical attachment of the microflora studied confirms the domination of the conifers which replaced Carboniferous hygrophilous flora into xerophilous one at the turn of Carboniferous and Permian. The appearance of first bisaccatae pollen grains which predominate in Upper Permian (eg. Jugasporites delasaucei) indicates a permanent trend of dry climate changes into almost semidesertic climate of Upper Permian. The determined association of microflora may be compared with an association known from Lower Permian - Autunian of the Sudetic Mountains and Pre-Sudetic monocline (Dybova-Jachowicz, 1995) and also from Asselian of Donieck Basin, Ukraine (Inosova et al., 1976).

abstract = {An assemblage of well preserved fossil invertebrates and plants has been found recently in sideritic nodules at the NE part of the Upper Silesia Coal Basin, on a dump of a coal mine in Sosnowiec. The assemblage consists of xiphosurids (Bellinurus lunatus and Euproops rotundatus), insects (palaeodictyopteran nymph Rochdalia parkeri and a wing of Protorthoptera), fragmentary eurypterid carapaces, lycopod cones (Lepidostrobus sp.), and imprints of Lepidodendron and Calamites trunks. The arthropods and terrestial insects are of special value because they are extremely rare in this region. The assemblage originated in poorly oxygenated brackish waters. Similar stands are known from other European and North American coal basins.},

Three of them (LV, LE, LN) belong to the Uppermost Devonian, one (VI) belongs to the Lowermost Carboniferous. The change in miospore assemblages allows to establish the approximate Devonian/Carboniferous boundary between samples 161 and 181c.},

Associated flora and fauna include terrestrial plant remains and a single palaeodictyopteran insect nymph. As no marine influences are known in this area since the Namurian A, these xiphosurans were probably fresh-water organisms.},
