Castle Conglomerate Unit of the Upper Silesian Basin (Czech Republic and Poland): a record of the onset of Late Mississippian C2 glaciation?

Original language description

The Castle Conglomerate Unit in the Poruba Member (Early Namurian, Mississippian) is a lithosome composed of coarse-grained sandstones and conglomerates. Its thickness, lithology and extensive area make it unique in the paralic sequence of the Ostrava Formation of the Upper Silesian Basin. The unit was studied on the basis of information from exploratory boreholes, mines and its outcrop at the type locality in the Lucina Valley in Silesian Ostrava. Locally, the unit attains a thickness of up to 115 m (average 24.4 m). Its present-day area is approximately 992 km(2). The axis of the conglomerate facies (with character of interbeds) in the unit has a NNE-SSW alignment and coincides with the axis of the basin's maximum subsidence during the sedimentationof the Poruba Member. The maximum aggregate thickness of the conglomerate facies is 60 m; their present-day area of occurrence is approximately 480 km(2). The Castle Conglomerate Unit represents deposits of a low-sinuosity river system. T
