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.
