In the region of the Caucasus considered herein two large structural complexes have been identified: an autochthone, including the Gagra-Java zone (GJZ) of the Greater Caucasus fold-and-thrust belt, the Kura foreland basin (KFB), and an allochthone consisting of the Utsera-Pavleuri, Alisisgori-Chinchvelta, Sadzeguri- Shakhvetila, Zhinvali-Pkhoveli nappes and Ksani-Arkala parautochthone. The nappes are established on the basis of paleogeographic reconstructions, structural data, as well as drilling and geophysical data. The leading mechanism for the nappe formation is the advancement to the north and the underthrusting of the autochthone under the Greater Caucasus (A-type subduction). The nappes were formed mainly in the Late Alpine time (Late Eocene–Early Pliocene) and include only the sedimentary cover of the Earth’s crust (thin-skinned nappes). However the basal detachment (décollement) of the nappes, according to seismic data, penetrates deeply and cuts the pre-Jurassic crystalline basement, and even the entire Earth’s crust representing thick-skinned deformation. The total horizontal displacement of the flysch nappes of the southern slope of the Greater Caucasus in their eastern (Kakhetian) part is 90–100 km. While, considering the folding of the entire Greater Caucasus, the total transverse shortening of the Earth‘s crust within its limits is equal to 190–200 km.

Skeletobiosis on favositid corals: a case study from the Middle Devonian of the Mader Basin, Morocco

This study focuses on evaluating microbial activity in Main Dolomite reservoir rocks (Zechstein, Wuchiapingian– Permian) at 100°C. Core samples from two wells, one potentially microbiologically active (C-1 well, 100°C) and the other considered inactive due to high temperature (L-1 well, 155.5°C), were analysed. The core from L-1, treated similarly to C-1, was used to control for contamination. Microbial experiments and molecular analyses were performed on both core samples to ensure accurate results unaffected by laboratory processing contamination. Microbial incubation tests were successfully employed to demonstrate microbial hydrocarbon degradation and methane formation from 13C-labelled acetate. A new method for staining microorganisms from rock samples was introduced to estimate biomass. The results indicated that microorganisms from the C-1 well exhibited both hydrocarbon biodegradation and acetoclastic methanogenesis during a 3-month incubation at 100°C. Fluorescence-stained and countable microorganisms were only observed in the C-1 samples, while no biodegradation or methanogenesis occurred in reference samples from L-1 well. The study provides valuable insights into microbial activities in extreme conditions, emphasizing the importance of proper controls and techniques to ensure accurate interpretation of results.

In Skrzelczyce Quarry, located in the southern part of the Holy Cross Mountains in central Poland, a large Upper Devonian carbonate mound is exposed. The Skrzelczyce mound, developed as massive and faintly bedded limestones, measures nearly 100 m in lateral extent and over 20 m in thickness, and laterally passes into coral-rich biostromal limestones belonging to the Sitkówka Beds. Four facies have been identified within the massive limestone unit: stromatactis-bearing limestones with scarce macrofossils (M1), macrofossil-rich limestones (M2), stromatoporoid-microbial limestones (M3), and limestones with fenestral structures (M4). These facies indicate varying depositional conditions and microbial activity, reflecting a complex interplay of environmental factors. The mound’s lithological features and spatial facies distribution resemble the late development stage of Devonian atolls in the Ardennes. This analogy suggests that the initial mound setting at Skrzelczyce might have been at depths of 30–60 m, in a moderate energy zone. The mound, composed predominantly of polygenetic biomicrite with a significant presence of laminar stromatoporoids and corals, features various forms of stromatactis, some typical and others related to sediment winnowing or to shelter cavities. The foraminiferal assemblages, along with lithostratigraphic correlation, suggest that the Skrzelczyce mound may belong to the lower to middle Frasnian, although the precise age remains uncertain due to the lack of conodont dating. The Skrzelczyce mound aligns with the definition of the Kadzielnia Member, and particular facies from Skrzelczyce can be matched with those described from the Kadzielnia Quarry. The structure outcropping in Skrzelczyce is the second largest Upper Devonian carbonate buildup after Kadzielnia in the Holy Cross Mountains, and the largest on the southern edge of the Kielce carbonate platform.

Calpionellid stratigraphy, magnetic susceptibility (MS) and gamma-ray spectrometry (GRS) have been investigated in the Berriasian pelagic limestones of ca. 21 m thick interval from the Lipse-tető section (Mecsek Mts, southern Hungary, Tisza Mega-unit). The section covers the lower and upper Berriasian (Calpionella and Calpionellopsis Zones respectively), however due to a thrust fault, the upper part of the Calpionella elliptica Subzone and the lower part of the Calpionellopsis simplex Subzone (lower/upper Berriasian boundary interval) were not documented. Reslults of GRS measurements reveal contrasting trends, with low detrital input (K, Th) and elevated Th/K ratio through the lower Berriasian, as well as relatively high detrital input and decreased Th/K ratio within the upper Berriasian. The differences occur also in the calpionellid frequencies and species richness: assemblages rich in Calpionella alpina dominate in the lower Berriasian, whilst more diversified yet less abundant associations characterize the upper Berriasian. Trends in palaeoenvironmental proxies correspond well with data from the Lower Sub-Tatric succession (Pośrednie-Rówienka composite section, Tatra Mts, Poland). The palaeoenvironmental change between the early and late Berriasian is most probably related to palaeoclimate (arid to humid transition), and fertility (from oligo- to mesotrophic regime). Trends documented in Th/K ratio might have been controlled by the intensity of aeolian transportation. As revealed by previous studies, the consistent record of palaeoenvironmental changes in both the Tisza Mega-unit and the Central Western Carpathians might be observed also in the middle Jurassic sediments.
