Zir con, tour ma line, rutile, gar net, staurolite and kyan ite be long to the main con stit u ents in both for ma tions. Ap a tite is com mon in the Ropianka Fm., while the Menilite Fm. al most lacks this min eral. Fur ther more, in di vid ual hornblende grains were found in the Ropianka Fm., while an da lu site is pres ent only in the Menilite Fm. The Ropianka Fm. is rel a tively richer in zir con, tour ma line, gar net and ap a tite, while the Menilite Fm. con tains more staurolite and kyan ite. Zir con and tour ma line col our and mor pho log i cal va ri et ies are sim i lar in both for ma tions. The sim i lar i ties of the heavy min eral as sem blages stud ied sug gest or i gin of these min er als from lithologically sim i lar rocks. Neg a tive cor re la tions be tween the zir con + tour ma line + rutile (ZTR) val ues and the con tent of gar net and staurolite in the Ropianka Fm. may in di cate, to a large ex tent, first-cy cle de liv ery of gar net and staurolite to the forma tion. Neg a tive, but low, cor re la tion valid only for ZTR and gar net and pos i tive cor re la tions for ZTR and staurolite and kyanite in the Menilite Fm. sug gest de liv ery of these min er als from sed i men tary rocks or/and pa limp sest sed i ments. The data ob tained on min eral re la tion ships and their mor phol ogy sug gest mixed first-cy cle and re cy cled prov e nance of the heavy miner als stud ied.

Abstract:In the Gaj section (Polish Carpathians, Skole Nappe, Ropianka Formation), the Late Maastrichtian calcareous nannofossil biostratigraphy is compared with foraminiferal zonation based on the occurrence of the planktonic foraminiferid index species Abathomphalus mayaroensis. It appears that the LO of A. mayaroensis, which has been used previously in the studied section as the possible K/Pg boundary indicator is located below the boundary. The disappearance of A. mayaroensis along with other planktonic foraminiferids before the Cretaceous-Paleogene (K/Pg) boundary mass extinction event may be a consequence of the Late Maastrichtian rapid warming pulses. Moreover, the Paleogene age cannot be supported by the FO of the benthic foraminiferid Rzehakina fissistomata, because it first appears together with the nannofossil Ceratolithoides kamptneri (zonal marker for the latest Maastrichtian UC20c TP Zone). According to the present study, the whole studied section represents the lower Upper to the upper Upper Maastrichtian UC20b TP and UC20c TP nannofossil zones, so that it corresponds to the lower-middle part of the planktonic foraminiferal A. mayaroensis Zone, which, according to the scheme by Caron (1985), should extend up to the K/Pg boundary.
