Abstract

In the Grodziec Syncline (Eastern part of the North-Sudetic Synclinorium) the uppermost Zechstein sediments are represented by mudstones and very fine grained sandstones, which smoothly continue into typical Buntsandstein deposits. These sediments belong to Transitional Terrigeneous Series (PZt), which uppermost part is developed as heterolithic tempestites. A zone abundant in pre- and post-consolidated sediment deformation structures was distinguished within heterolithic sediments. The pre-consolidated sediment deformation structures have numerous features of seismites, on the other hand post-consolidated deformation structures raise more doubts about their origin and require more future research. A zone of pre- and post-consolidated sediment deformation is an important correlation horizon for the Grodziec Syncline. Furthermore, such zone is also observed in the analogous deposits of the Fore-Sudetic Monocline in the Glogow–Rudna area.
