Terrigenious Series T1r-a Zaciszowice IG1 borehole Kielce (Permian of Poland)

Where: Poland (50.8° N, 20.7° E: paleocoordinates 17.5° N, 29.2° E)

• coordinate based on nearby landmark

• small collection-level geographic resolution

When: Terrigenious Series Formation (Werra Group), Wuchiapingian (259.9 - 254.2 Ma)

• The following lithological complexes are currently distinguished within the Zechstein on the so-called "near" Permian-Mesozoic edge of the Holy Cross Paleozoic core: Zechstein Limestone (Ca1) locally underlaying by the Copper-Bearing Shale (in German Kupfer schiefer; T1), Lower Anhydrite (Ald) in some sections, Terrigenious Series (T1r) and Upper Anhydrite (A1g) which all form the Werra Cycle (PZ1); the Strassfort Cycle (PZ2) is developed as the Terrigenous Series (T2r), the Grey Pelite (T3), Platy Dolomite (Ca3) and only locally Main Anhydrite (A3) represents the Leine Cycle (PZ3). The uppermost Zechstein deposits consist of the Top Terrigenous Series (Pzt).

• bed-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: marine; dolomitic, sandy, calcareous mudstone and sandstone

• The Holy Cross Mountains belonged to the costal zone of he Germanic basin during the Late Permian and Upper Triassic. Terefore some members of the Zechstein and Buntsandstein lithological sections are missing or reduced in comparison to the deeper part of the basin.
• in text: Calcareous and dolomitic mudstones with intercalations of fine sandstones and -less frequently- of claystones, marls and dolomitic marls in the northern subregion. In the southern subregion occur mainly brown mudstones with carbonate nodules. There is a sedimentary breccia in some boreholes composed of fragments of marly and dolomitic limestones and mudstones, embedded in an argillaceous matrix. In the southern part of the studied area, this breccia is replaced by the intercalations of fine conglomeates. In log: sandy mudstones (locally with carbonate nodules) with the pseudomorphs after sulphates

Size class: microfossils

Preservation: original sporopollenin

Collection methods: core, chemical, mechanical,
