Abstract

The distribution, sedimentary environment and tectonic evolution of theLower Badenian clastic deposits (Baranów Beds) in the area between Sandomierz. and Tamobrzeg are described. These deposits represent two facies: transitional marine, continental and open marine. The morphology and microtextures of quartz grains from the Świniary sand-pit indicate changing sedimentary environments in the upper part of the Baranów Beds: from a marine shore-influenced zone gradually through to deeper conditions. The thickness distribution of these deposits shows the influence of a nearby fault zone.
