Poruba Mbrs, Ostrava Formation ( Namurian A, Arnsberg ) in the Czech part of the Upper Silesian Basin
Horák, J. ; Martinec, Petr ; Hoch, I.
In the Czech part of the Upper Silesian basin, full preservation of the Poruba Mbrs of Ostrava Fm, i.e., retention of their full thickness, can be observed only in the eastern and southern zones of the basin, while no more than relics exposed by denudation remain in the western and central zones. The Poruba Mbrs (Namurian A, Arnsbergian, E2b) were deposited on the outskirts of Ostrava Fm (Namurian A, Pendleian-Arnsbergian) on a flat coastal plain, interspersed with infrequent but regularly spaced marine transgressions. Individual sedimentary sections—mezocycles—are well-defined (within the meaning of the concept put forward by ČEPEK & HAVLENA 1975). Their sedimentary development reflecting the climate changes during the Carboniferous period have been described. Five complete mezocycles were identified (named Koks, Konrad, Lotar, Otakar, and Gaebler after major marine horizons), plus an incomplete one (Filip, constituted by only the upper continental portion of the mezocycle), inasmuch as the marine part (a group of faunistic horizons of Barbora) is presently ascribed to Jaklovec Mbr.
