The Kupferschiefer (T1) re cords a pe riod of ba sin-wide euxinic con di tions, and is thus con sid ered an ex cel lent time-marker in the Zechstein (Lopingian) ba sin. Pre vi ous stud ies in di cated that both the Kupferschiefer and Marl Slate and the over ly ing Zechstein Limestone (Magnesian Lime stone) show re mark able changes in car bon iso to pic com po si tion to wards higher 13 C carb val ues. We have ex amined the Kupferschiefer of the Zdrada IG 8 bore hole that has re cently been stud ied in de tail by Pašava et al. (2010) aim ing to use the car bon iso tope data from the basal Zechstein for strati graphic cor re la tion of the Zechstein ba sin with the global iso to pic curve for Late Perm ian. The d 13 C val ues in the Zdrada IG 8 change from +0.7‰ at the Kupferschiefer base to +5.4‰ in its mid dle part, then de crease to +1.7‰ at the Kupferschiefer top and next rap idly in crease to +3.5‰ (in the low est part of the Zechstein Lime stone) and fi nally to +5.1‰ (0.5 m above). This in creas ing trend con tin ues into the Zechstein Lime stone; all sub se quent Zechstein ma rine car bon ates show highly pos i tive d 13 C val ues. The d 13 C curve that best shows the Zechstein base may lie near a se quence bound ary in the up per Guadalupian of South China that post dates the mid-Guadalupian ex tinc tion, but the early Wuchiapingian cono donts re ported from the basal Zechstein de pos its else where ex clude such an in ter pre ta tion. The in crease re corded in the in ter val from the Kupferschiefer to the Main Do lo mite fits well the in crease of the d 13 C val ues ob served af ter Iso tope Event 0 (some 258 Ma) of the iso to pic curve for the Late Perm ian, al though the in crease in the Zdrada IG 8 is clearly more sig nif i cant than that of the global d 13 C curve. In turn, the sub se quent slight fall that ac cel erated af ter Iso tope Event 1 fits the more sig nif i cant fall in the Platy Do lo mite.

“…The con tent of the dis persed OM in rocks, mea sured as the to tal or ganic car bon (TOC) con tent, enables to com pare dis tinct lithological va ri et ies. Al though the present TOC con tent is gen er ally low in the Zechstein car bon ates (Ca1, Zechstein Lime stone, and Ca2, Main Do lo mite), rang ing be tween 0.01 and 1.0 wt.% (Kotarba et al, 2006;Kotarba and Wag ner, 2007;S³owakiewicz and Miko³a jewski, 2011), a sig nif icant in crease of TOC con tent is lo cally ob served, which may be as high as 6.25 wt.% (Kotarba et al, 2000). The vari a tion of the TOC con tent was also ev i denced by Kotarba et al (2006) in shales of the first Zechstein cy cle (Kupferschiefer, T1), which ranges from 0.01 to 15.5 wt.%, be ing 3.1 wt.% on av er age.…”

“…The reflectance val ues vary in a range of <0.7% R o up to 3.2% R o through out the Zechstein Ba sin and this is pri mar ily de pend ent on the depth of burial and tec ton ics (Karnkowski, 2007;S³owakiewicz and Miko³ajewski, 2011). How ever, re mark able dif fer ences in vitrinite reflectance are re corded over small ar eas at sim i lar depths of burial (com pare data pre sented by Kotarba et al, 2006;Kotarba and Wag ner, 2007;S³owa kiewicz and Miko³ajewski, 2011).

The coaly mat ter is both dis persed in the PZ2 shales and car bon ates and con cen trated in veins which cross cut these de pos its and, de pend ing on the lo ca tion, de picts con trast ing maceral com po si tion and the rank of coal. The veins are built of colotellinite and micrinite, show ing a mean ran dom reflectance of coal in the range of 1.38-1.40%, whereas the dis persed or ganic mat ter is com posed mostly of semifusinite and fusinite with mi nor vitrinite, show ing a mean ran dom reflectance of 0.82%. It is in ter preted that the het er o geneous com po si tion and rank of coal re sult from mi gra tion of hot flu ids within a frac ture sys tem de vel oped in the PZ2 shale and car bon ate beds. The in flux of hot flu ids into the or ganic mat ter-rich beds led to the gen er a tion of bi tu men which catagenetically al tered along the hot fluid con duits. The coalification of bi tu mens took place at an early stage of tec tonic defor ma tion of the Zechstein salt se ries, ini ti ated by re gional ex ten sion and nor mal dis place ment on a base ment fault, most prob a bly in the Late Perm ian-Early Tri as sic.

Geo log i cal Quar terly, 59 (2): 257-270, doi: 10.7306/gq.1210The avail able K-Ar ages of authigenic illite from Rotliegend ae olian sand stones of the Fore-Sudetic Monocline, SW Po land, in clud ing those from six sam ples ex am ined in the pres ent study, are crit i cally re viewed in terms of their geo log i cal mean ing and com pared with the K-Ar ages of illite from the re main ing part of the South ern Perm ian Ba sin in Europe. The ma jor ity of ages fall in the range be tween 195 and 150 Ma, i.e. they cor re spond to Ju ras sic times. The re sults may be grouped in sev eral time in ter vals, which are al most iden ti cal to those iden ti fied for Rotliegend sand stones of Cen tral and West ern Eu rope, and which are ten ta tively in ter preted as pulses of in tense illite growth. Short-last ing illitisation is re corded only at places. More often, illitisation pro ceeded as a multi-stage pro cess, which in the north ern part of the Fore-Sudetic Monocline might have lasted un til the Cre ta ceous. The K-Ar ages of authigenic illite gen er ally co in cide with the mod elled time of gas gen er a tion from Car bon if er ous rocks and the fill ing of res er voirs in the area of the Fore-Sudetic Monocline.
