Geography
Country: | Poland |
Coordinates: | 51.2° North, 22.6° East (view map) |
Paleocoordinates: | 49.7° North, 17.7° East |
Basis of coordinate: | based on nearby landmark |
Geographic resolution: | local area |
Time
Period: | Paleogene | Epoch: | Eocene |
Stage: | Bartonian | 10 m.y. bin: | Cenozoic 3 |
Key time interval: | Bartonian | ||
Age range of interval: | 41.30000 - 38.00000 m.y. ago |
Stratigraphy
Local section: | Siemien | ||||
Stratigraphic resolution: | group of beds | ||||
Stratigraphy comments: No lithostratigraphic unit given in text or found in literature search. Deposits are however less than 10 m thick, overlain by Quaternary sands. Assigned to Bartonian on the basis of similarity of faunal assemblage to Bartonian of England. Furthermore, analysis of planktonic foraminifers shows the unit to be the Globigerapsis semiinvolute Zone, that is in the lower part of the Upper Eocene, and on the basis of coccoliths to be in the Discoaster nodifer biozone, that is uppermost Middle and lowermost Upper Eocene. |
Lithology and environment
Primary lithology: | glauconitic,pebbly sandstone |
Secondary lithology: | phosphatic sandstone |
Includes fossils? | Y |
Includes fossils? | Y |
Lithology description: The basal part of the series is foirmed by quartz-glauconitic sands with quartz and lydite pebbles. Upwards the content of gravel decreases and numerous phosphatic nodules appear. The content of calcium and marl in these sands is variable; in places intercalations of limestone are found. The deposit becomes devoid of calcium, silty, clay-sandy and clayey and gaizes appear towards the top of the unit. | |
Environment: | offshore |
Glacial or sequence phase: | transgressive |
Geology comments: The Upper Eocene sequence is represented by transgressive marine series. Most taxa occupy neritic and littoral and warm-temperate conditions. Numerous corals suggest normal salinity. Probably accumulaed in 10-90 m of water depth. |
Taphonomy
Modes of preservation: | body,original aragonite,original calcite |
Size of fossils: | macrofossils |
Preservation of anatomical detail: | poor |
Collection methods and comments
Collection excludes: | all microfossils |
Collection methods: | field collection |
Reason for describing collection: | taxonomic analysis |
Collection method comments: Macrofauna are housed in the Geological Instiutute (IG) of Poland. | |
Taxonomic list comments:Exhaustive for bivalvia and apparently complete for gastropods (although this is a meagre fauna). Includes all macrofossils. |
