Abstract


COAL-BEARING CARBONIFEMUS IN THE STOCZEK – DOROHUCZA SYNCLINE IN THE LUBLIN COAL BASIN

The Stoczek Dorohucza syncline is a part of a large structural unit known as Mazowsze - Lublin unit. It is generally NW-SE oriented (Fig. 1) and infilled with rocks ranging from the Visean to Westphalian in age, a part of which underwent erosion before the Jurassic. The top of the Carboniferous is situated at the depth of 600 to 950 m. In this area, coal deposits are essentially limited to the profile of the Westphalian which is relatively well known from the geological viewpoint. The profile of the Westphalian of the Stoczek-Dorohucza syncline comprises up to 70 hard coal seams or layers, including 20 seams 0.80 to 2.00 m thick.
The available laboratory data suggest zonal pattern of metamorphism of phytogenic matter in the Stoczek-Dorohucza syncline. A zone of coals of the type 31 stretches at the north. Metamorphism gradually becomes more advanced southwards, where zone of baking coals of the type 34 may be found at various depths beneath the zones of energetic coals of the types 32 and 33.
