KREDA W REGIONIE LUBELSKIM - SEDYMENTACJA I JEJ TEKTONICZNE UWARUNKOWANIA

Abstract

CRETACEOUS IN LUBLIN AREA - SEDIMENTATION AND TECTONIC CONDITIONSAbstract. The aim of the study is to give an overview of research dealing with Cretaceous deposits in the Lublin region, i.e. their structural position, lithology, sedimentary and palaeotectonic conditions. Reconstruction of the Cretaceous basin evolution is based on lithofacies maps and on maps of subsidence rates made for 7 time spans. Relations of lithofacies and subsidence patterns with Palaeozoic and Precambrian basement structures are emphasized. Interpretation of synsedimentary faults and folds enabled conclusions on palaeotectonic conditions that created the depositional space. Some remarks concerning Early Maastrichtian timing of the onset of inversion processes is also presented.
