We warmly invite you to read the new article by Prof. Dr hab. Jerzy Nawrocki (Department of Geology, Soil Science, and Geoinformation UMCS), on the cyclicity and origin of detrital zircons in the Menilite and Krosno formations:
Nawrocki J., Pańczyk M., Malata T., Dziadzio P.S., Balicki L., Derkowski P., 2024. Insight into Oligocene–Early Miocene palaeogeography of the Carpathians in Poland: first cycle and recycled detrital zircon provenance in the Menilite and Krosno formations. Journal of the Geological Society, vol. 18, jgs2023-124, https://doi.org/10.1144/jgs2023-124
The results, published in a prestigious scientific journal, are the fruit of in-depth research conducted by a group of distinguished Polish geologists. Focusing on isotopic analysis of detrital zircons, the authors have proposed an innovative perspective on the sources of these minerals within the Menilite and Krosno formations, playing a key role in understanding the tectonic and paleogeographic evolution of the Outer Western Carpathians.
This article not only broadens our knowledge about the geological history of the Carpathians but also contributes to the global discourse on orogenic processes and their impact on landscape formation. Through the lens of detailed studies on the origin of detrital zircons, the reader is introduced to the complex world of ancient geological events that have shaped the current image of the Carpathians.
This publication is not only a treasure trove of knowledge for specialists in geology but also a fascinating read for anyone interested in Earth's history and the processes that have shaped it. Thanks to accessible language and a clear presentation of complex geological processes, this article is an excellent starting point for those who wish to delve into the secrets of our country's geological past.
