Jurassic Pebbles in the Cretaceous Sandstones of the Bohemian Basin As a Possible Tool for Reconstruction of the Late Jurassic and Late Cretaceous Palaeogeography
Volumina Jurassica, 2019, XVii: 17–38 Doi: 10.7306/VJ.17.2 Jurassic pebbles in the Cretaceous sandstones of the Bohemian Basin as a possible tool for reconstruction of the Late Jurassic and Late Cretaceous palaeogeography Jaroslav Valečka1 Key words: Bohemian Massif, Jurassic relics, Jurassic pebbles, Bohemian Cretaceous Basin, Late Jurassic and Late Cretaceous palaeogeography. Abstract. a new find of pebbles of Jurassic silicites in the Coniacian sandstones of the Bohemian Cretaceous Basin in N Bohemia has permitted analysis of the stratigraphic extent of Jurassic sediments in the NW part of the Bohemian Massif. The studied silicites are domi- nated by the rhax microfacies, while bioclastic and oolitic microfacies are less common. The thickest section of Jurassic sediments in the NW part of the Bohemian Massif has been obtained from the Doubice borehole. It is represented by basal clastics overlain by a 70 m thick succession of silicite-free carbonate rocks which range in age from Callovian to lower kimmeridgian. These deposits are dominated by the bioclastic microfacies whereas the rhax and oolitic microfacies are missing. The studied silicite-bearing sequence is younger than the carbonate rocks in Doubice borehole and was deposited mostly in a deeper zone probably during the late kimmeridgian transgression, much like in the Upper Frankenalb in Se Germany. The extensive Jurassic basin in the Bohemian Massif was connected with the S part of the Polish and German basins and – via the Hessian (Saxonian) Seaway – with the Jurassic basin in Se Germany. The Jurassic sediments were mostly eroded from the Bohemian Massif during the early Cretaceous with the exception of small relics. -

The Mesa of Oybin (Upper Lusatia, Germany) and Its Importance for Geology and Geotourism

GeoJournal of Tourism and Geosites, 25(2), 391–398. https://doi.org/10.30892/gtg.25210-368 Abstract: The aim of this article is to call attention to the most interesting place in the Zittau Mountains (Upper Lusatia, Germany), the mesa of Oybin. Besides ruins of the medieval Oybin castle and monastery, there are several examples of geological processes connected with the Upper Cretaceous sedimentation and later erosion in local quartz sandstones. The mesa itself provides an excellent witness of the deposition cycles, probable subaquatic landslides as well as various examples of later weathering. Selected features have been photographed, consulted with relevant literary sources and their probable origin discussed within the text. Photos of selected phenomena are included and explained in details. Visibly denoted and enlightened geological features could increase the tourist attractiveness of the mesa in terms of a complete description of this interesting mountain. -
