Abstract
ABSTRACT The material for this study was taken from various sites in the Holy Cross Mountains: Studzianna, Huta OP-1 and Przysucha P-3 (bore cores), and Odrowąż (geological outcrop). Palynological and palynofacial analyses were used to reconstruct the Upper Triassic and Lower Jurassic vegetation and palaeoenvironment of that area. Samples from all the sites are characterised by having majority of terrestrial particles. The slides were dominated by translucent phytoclasts and small opaque phytoclasts. Pollen grains and spores were also present. The presence of marine palynomorphs was not confirmed in the samples from any of the sites, dinoflagellate cysts did not occur, and there were no foraminiferal test linings. The Sporomorph EcoGroup (SEG) model (Abbink 1998) was applied to characterise the ecological types of the plant assemblages. The most frequently occurring sporomorphs were assigned to Upland, Lowland and River SEGs. Stratigraphical changes in each of the SEGs indicate differences in climatic conditions. The floristic composition of the Studzianna, Huta and Odrowąż localities inferred from sporomorphs differs somewhat from the composition reconstructed from macroremains.
