RECORD OF CHANGES IN THE OLIGOCENE–MIOCENE SEDIMENTS OF THE MENILITE–KROSNO SERIES OF THE SKOLE UNIT BASED ON CALCAREOUS NANNOPLANKTON STUDIES – BIOSTRATIGRAPHY AND PALAEOGEOGRAPHICAL IMPLICATIONS (POLISH OUTER CARPATHIANS)
Journal Title: Biuletyn Państwowego Instytutu Geologicznego - Year 2012, Vol 453, Issue 453
Abstract
The biostratigraphic investigation included the Menilite–Krosno Series of the Skole Unit overlying the Globigerina Marls. Seven calcareous nannoplankton zones (sensu Martini, 1971) were distinguished in these sediments: NP23, NP24, NP25, NN1, NN2, NN3? and NN4. Based on the species diversity of the assemblage, their abundances and preservation, as well as palaeoenvironmental and palaeoclimatic conditions that controlled the basin during deposition of the Menilite and Krosno Beds have been identified. The Skole region was located at the periphery of the Paratethys basin during Late Oligocene–Early Miocene times. Based on the calcareous nannoplankton assemblage, the phase of isolation of the Paratethys (NP23) from the Mediterranean was documented. The restoration of normal marine conditions (NP24–NP25), sea-level fluctuations (sea-level fall?) at the Oligocene–Miocene boundary (uppermost part of the NP25–NN1), a phase of relative sea-level rise (NN2, NN3?, NN4) and the end of flysch sedimentation in the Skole Unit in the NN4 Calcareous Nannoplankton Zone were also identified.
