Neogene of the Polish Lowlands - lithostratigraphy and pollen-spore zones
Year: 2013
Type: article
Abstract: The Neogene deposits of the Polish Lowlands, mostly continental, occur in form of replicating complexes of clays, sands and gravels with consequent lignite benches, frequently thick ones. Lithological setting was a base of stratigraphy of these deposits during more than 100 years. The new summary of the results of lithostratigraphical works, correlation of the Neogene chrono- and lithostratigraphical units on the Polish Lowlands and adjacent areas have been presented in this paper. Fourteen pollen-spore zones (I-XIV), characterizing all the lithostratigraphical units, have been also established.
