We provide you a pdf second circular (8.39 MB) of the Jurassica XV geological conference, which will take place on 19‒22 September 2023 in the historical city of Iłża in central Poland.

The conference is organized after the last, successful Jurassica XIV meeting, which was held in Bratislava (Slovakia) and after a long break caused by the Covid-19 pandemic.

The Jurassica XV conference is open to all researchers and people interested in stratigraphy, sedimentology, geochemistry, tectonics and palaeomagnetism of Jurassic rocks, palaeontology of Jurassic fossils and Jurassic geoturism. It is designated to exchange novel ideas among domestic and foreign participants and to present new geological discoveries and results of studies on Jurassic deposits, which also include Triassic/Jurassic and Jurassic/Cretaceous boundary strata.

The Jurassica XV conference is organised in Iłża in the NE margin of the Holy Cross Mountains. In this area, outcrops of marine, fossil-rich Upper Jurassic rocks, which were deposited in a shallow epicontinental sea, both in the environment of the shallow water carbonate platform and in more calm, offshore marine settings can be observed.

Due to significant progress in understanding of the stratigraphy, sedimentology and regional context and correlation of the studied rocks with those from the NW margin of the Holy Cross Mountains we can deliver you detailed information about the lithostratigraphy of the sections presented during field trips as well as their biostratigraphical, sequence stratigraphical and geochemical frameworks.

The conference is dedicated to the memory of Prof. Grzegorz Pieńkowski.

Field trips

The planned geological excursions, guided by B. Błażejowski, G. Niedźwiedzki, A. Wierzbowski, H. Wierzbowski and Ł. Weryński, include:

• 21.09 ‒ Upper Jurassic marine deposits of the NE margin of the Holy Cross Mountains of central Poland. The tour includes Oxfordian‒Lower Kimmeridgian shallow water carbonate deposits of Bałtów, Błaziny, Iłża (at the ruins of the Iłża castle) and Wierzbica as well as deeper offshore Upper Kimmeridgian deposits of Krzyżanowice. All the localities are rich in fossils including bivalves, gastropods and corals.
• 22.09 ‒ Jurassic terrestrial and marine deposits of the NW margin of the Holy Cross Mountains. The tour includes a Hettangian locality with dinosaur foot tracks in the Borkowice site (near Przysucha) and the mid-Tithonian Owadów-Brzezinki conservation Lagerstätte (near Sławno), which is famous for exceptionally preserved fossils of horseshoe crabs, crustaceans, marine reptiles, terrestrial insects and ammonites. This palaeontological site has recently yielded key micro- and macrofossil data for correlations between the Tethyan Tithonian and both the “Volgian” and the “Portlandian” biostratigraphical zonal schemes of Northern and Eastern Europe.
