Ichnology of the Cretaceous Oceanic Red Beds (Outer Western Carpathians, Czech Republic)

Geochemistry of Cretaceous Oceanic Red Beds — A synthesis

Cretaceous to Paleogene agglutinated foraminifera of the Bile Karpaty unit (West Carpathians, Czech Republic)

Assemblages of agglutinated foraminifers ranging from the Aptian to the lower Eocene were studied in the Bile Karpaty unit. One hundred ninety species (43 of them undetermined) were studied taxonomically. The *species Glomospira s traniki and ~ u r r i t e l l e l l a reversa are 'new. Several species of the abyssal "Krashenimikov" fauna (Buzasina inflata, Haplophragmoides decussatus, H . perex...

Numerical analysis of deep-seated mass movements in the Magura Nappe; Flysch Belt of the Western Carpathians (Czech Republic)

Deep-seated slope failures are common features in the mountains of the Raca Unit, Magura Nappe of the Flysch Belt of Western Carpathians. Since they represent very complicated system, understanding of their evolution and triggers still remains unclear. We tried to provide a back-analysis of their development by using a finite difference code (FDM) of continua (Flac 4.0). We confirmed that such ...

Trace Element Concentrations in Lichens Collected in the Beskidy Mountains, the Outer Western Carpathians

The aim of the study was to assess trace metal air pollution in the Beskidy Mountains, the Outer Western Carpathians, Poland, with a widely used bioaccumulating organism, a lichen, Hypogymnia physodes. Lichens were collected at five stands (mountains) in parallel transect and analyzed for cadmium (Cd), copper (Cu), nickel (Ni), lead (Pb) and zinc (Zn) content. Concentrations of Cd, Pb and Zn in...
