TytułThe Structure and P–T–t–d Evolution of the Saxothuringian/Brunovistulian Variscan Boundary Zone in the Bohemian Massif (Czech Republic, Poland)
CzasopismoJournal of Metamorphic Geology: Volume 43, Issue 5
DOIhttps://doi.org/10.1111/jmg.12813

The Variscan suture zone between the Saxothuringian and Brunovistulian terranes of the Bohemian Massif in Central Europe is characterized by a highly tectonized zone: the Stáre Město Belt (SMB). Despite extensive previous research, better understanding of some essential aspects regarding the metamorphic conditions and timing of the tectonic events within the SMB are needed to understand the structural architecture and the Variscan evolution of the Saxothuringian/Brunovistulian suture zone.

Tytuł Paleozoic tectonothermal history of the amalgamation of the Tarim–North China and Mongolian collages
CzasopismoJournal of the Geological Society, Volume 182, Number 2
DOIhttps://doi.org/10.1144/jgs2024-100

In the Mongolian Collage, metamorphic pressure–temperature (P–T) and timing reveal a one-stage evolution defined by a duality of late Neoproterozoic–Ordovician subduction-related low T/P metamorphism and suprasubduction high T/P metamorphism recorded in the Mongolia–Manchuria and Baikal–Sayan belts. This was followed by gradual prevalence of suprasubduction high T/P metamorphism towards the late Paleozoic corresponding to the Altai and South Altai cycles.

TytułDietary preferences and collagen to collagen prey-predator trophic discrimination factors (Δ13C, Δ15N) in late Pleistocene cave hyena
CzasopismoQuaternary Research , Volume 123 , January 2025
DOIhttps://doi.org/10.1017/qua.2024.43

The spotted hyena (Crocuta crocuta) was an important large carnivore of Pleistocene ecosystems in Africa and Eurasia. Like its modern relatives, this obligate carnivore was adapted to crush and digest bones of its prey and absorb organic matter from bones more efficiently than any other carnivore. This difference in the nutrient resource use between hyenas and most other carnivores led to differences in the isotope flux and variation in the carbon and nitrogen isotopic composition. In our paper, we assess the prey-to-hyena collagen-to-collagen Δ13C and Δ15N trophic discrimination factor (TDF), a key parameter needed in mixing models used for quantitative reconstruction of diet.

TytułAt the border of peri-Gondwana and Baltica: the structure of the eastern termination of the Variscan belt
Czasopismo Journal of the Geological Society, Volume 182
DOIhttps://doi.org/10.1144/jgs2024-075

The termination of the eastern Variscan belt has long been a matter of debate because it is deeply concealed beneath younger sediments. Its geometry has been addressed by the two competing hypotheses of the Variscan orocline and right-lateral strike-slip tectonics. We compiled a set of new gravity and magnetic maps for the Czech Republic, Poland and eastern Germany to track Variscan structures in the subsurface. These maps clearly show that the Rheno-Hercynian Suture turns by almost 90° east of the Harz Mountains in Germany and continues into Poland towards the ESE.

TytułEemian snails from Gorzów Wielkopolski palaeolake (NW Poland): malacological and isotopic data and their ecological implications
Czasopismo Journal of Paleolimnology, Volume 73
DOIhttps://doi.org/10.1007/s10933-024-00349-5

The results of isotope and malacological investigations of mollusc shells from the Eemian Interglacial (MIS 5e) and Vistulian (Weichselian, MIS 5a-d - MIS 4) lake sediments in Gorzów Wielkopolski (NW Poland) are presented. The palaeolake in Gorzów Wielkoposki is the newest paleontological site with the skeleton of the Eemian rhinoceros. The analyzed sediments contained numerous mollusc shells representing 29 species. The dominant species in the malacofauna are Valvata piscinalis and Bithynia tentaculata. Two types of mollusc assemblages have been distinguished, indicating the changes in the lake environment.

TytułHydrocarbon-derived thrombolites from the Outer Carpathians (Lower Cretaceous, Poland)
CzasopismoSedimentology, Volume71, Issue7, December 2024
DOI https://doi.org/10.1111/sed.13212

Shallow marine thrombolites from a newly discovered Lower Cretaceous cold seep in the Outer Carpathians (Poland) were analysed in order to untangle the complex sedimentological and biogeochemical processes involved in their formation and their diagenetic modifications. Carbonate precipitation within the framework cavities is interpreted to have been related to bacterial sulphate reduction. U-shaped trace fossils attributed to the ichnogenus Balanoglossites cross-cut both mesoclots and framework cavities. The mechanisms involved in the formation and diagenesis of thrombolites at cold seeps are yet to be fully understood, and this work provides new insights on these complex biogeochemical and sedimentological processes.

TytułDigestive contents and food webs record the advent of dinosaur supremacy
CzasopismoNature volume 636, pages 397–403 (2024)
DOIhttps://doi.org/10.1038/s41586-024-08265-4

The early radiation of dinosaurs remains a complex and poorly understood evolutionary event. Here we use hundreds of fossils with direct evidence of feeding to compare trophic dynamics across five vertebrate assemblages that record this event in the Triassic–Jurassic succession of the Polish Basin (central Europe). Bromalites, fossil digestive products, increase in size and diversity across the interval, indicating the emergence of larger dinosaur faunas with new feeding patterns. Well-preserved food residues and bromalite-taxon associations enable broad inferences of trophic interactions. Our results, integrated with climate and plant data, indicate a stepwise increase of dinosaur diversity and ecospace occupancy in the area.

TytułKinetics and mechanism of (re)hydroxylation in fired clay minerals
CzasopismoJournal of the American Ceramic Society, Volume 107, Issue 6
DOIhttps://doi.org/10.1111/jace.19699

Three types of smectite with various crystallochemical compositions and interlayer cations as well as kaolinite and illite were fired at 800°C and 650°C and tested for their rehydroxylation's (RHX) potential and kinetics in the presence of water vapor at 200°C–350°C. A dehydroxylated structure of 2:1 Al-rich mineral with the interlayer pillared by a large cation (like K+ or Cs+) is wide enough to allow H2O diffusion which results in advanced RHX, that is, restoring up to several tens of percent of the original OH content.
