SUMMAR'Y
The recent papers of P. A. Ziegler (1975)
and
w.
H. Ziegler (1975) markedly con.tributed to the knowledge of geological evolution of the central and western EUt"Gpe and tlhus, of the edra-Carpathian Poland. The ma'in theses are as follows:(1) The metamlJll'Phic basement of the north--western Poland may be more rellably dated at the Da1slandian as the older basement of the neighbOur-hood of the southern North Sea was shown to be' of that age.
(2) The commonness
at
the Celtic (= Cadomiim==
=
Old Baikaiian) orogeny throughout the England, Be}gium and Brittany and the lack of it in the Ireland. SootJa.nd and Norway indicate the tectonic affinity between the yc:mnger basement of Poland and othe former region and not wlth the areas of Scottish-Norwegian Caledonian geosyneline (Fig. 1). (3) The above oeonclusion is SU/PIPOl'11;ed by the results of the analysis of, the development of the Sl'l'll'lian and Ordovician whldl do not ,display any UIlliforril miogeosynclinoal character' in the' areas adjoiDinlg the southern North Sea (FIg:2).
(4) The nonf.lh.-European basin (the North Sea basih in a wider sense) Is epi-VarisC'lUl. It is deli-neated by the Caledonian orogen on the ncmth--west, Variscan on the south. and 'by the margin of the Old Platform on the !Wrth-east. Poland is situated in its SE COl'ner Wlhere the twu latter features, Variscan orogen "and the margin of the Old Platform. converge. The features fim converge at the meridian of RugJs. Isltand and to the east of
it the basin oof
the
Rotliegendes becomes 1lIQQ.'Tower, shallower, and' evaporite fames disappears.(5) Ringksbing Fyn swell is epi-Variscan or ol-der; it extends from Scotland on the west to BO'l"n-holm on the .
east.
'(6) The formati'on of aulacogens,, .great gravitatJ.o-. nel tectonic synsediment&ry troughs set , subperpen-dicular to the front CJf the VariscideS, has star.ted i.n the Permian. The strikes of the aula-cogens and sutures in the crytJtall'ine basement coincides. Tbis took place in the tatpohrogenlc stage of the eVolu-tion of that region.
(7) The SIOuthern part of the basin was subjected to coompression accompanied by hordzontal shitting
along faul18 at the end of the, Mesozoic durlng the Laoramie phase. This resulted in the '!lplift, (inver-sion) of the areas of the troughs. The translocations related to the movements in, the Teflhytan areas and ·the form8ltion of the Atlantic Il"ift west of Europe
watI SE-NW oriented. This was the end, of the
w.phrogenic stage.
(8) The spreading' of the north Atlantic bottOlm became more intense since the Eocene. At ' that time troughs from the 6'l'ea of the north-European baSin disaoppeared and the paJl'I!: of the basin stret-' cb1ng
east
,of Jutlar.r.I emerged and became more' rigid. 'The North Sea basin became nal'll'Ow, meri., dional, and achieved the character of sy,nclirie. Polland is situated in a completely stabilized area' outside the syncline.PE310ME
