Lower Buntsantstein A1 Jaworze IG1 borehole Kielce (Permian of Poland)

Where: Poland (50.8° N, 20.7° E: paleocoordinates 17.2° N, 29.8° E)

• coordinate based on nearby landmark

• small collection-level geographic resolution

When: Buntsandstein (259.5 - 251.9 Ma)

• The following lithological complexes are distinguished within the Lower Buntsandstein: A0, A1 and B.

• bed-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: marine; sandy, conglomeratic mudstone and siltstone

• The Holy Cross Mountains belonged to the costal zone of he Germanic basin during the Late Permian and Upper Triassic. Therefore some members of the Zechstein and Buntsandstein lithological sections are missing or reduced in comparison to the deeper part of the basin.
• The A1 complex is formed by reddisch brown, sandy and muddy deposits with conglomerates and coarse sandstone at the bottom. In the top siltstones and mudstones with wavy sedimentary structures dominate.

Size class: microfossils

Preservation: original sporopollenin

Collection methods: core, chemical, mechanical,
