The most interesting mineral localities in Poland 1300-WNZPZ1
During the lectures, students will learn about the origins of:
a) deposits and minerals which are connected with sedimentary rocks (salt deposits in Kłodawa, Inowrocaw, Wieliczka, miocen clay rocks with gypsum crystals from Dobrzyń nad Wisłą, sulphur deposits in miocene evaporative series in Machów near Tarnobrzeg, kupfershifer copper deposits from Głogów-Lubin-Polkowice area)
b) minerals which origin in supergene zones of different types of metal deposits (Wieściszowice - minerals connected with oxidation of pyrite and acid mine drainage, weathering deposit of Ni-ore in Szklary near Ząbkowice Śląskie)
c) pegmatites of granite Strzegom-Sobótka massif (quarries in Strzegom, Zimnik, Borów, Kostrza, Siedlimowice)
d) pegmatites of Karkonosze massif (Szklarska Poręba, Karpacz, Łomnica, Czarne, Michałowice, Mysłakowice)
e) hydrothermal deposits of different origin (Zn-Pb sulphide deposits from Olkusz – Tarnowskie Góry area; hydrothermal Cu and Pb deposits from Holly Cross Mts - Miedzianka, Ołowianka, Karczówka, Stokóweczka); baryte deposit in Stanisławowie; polymetallic vein in Western Sudetes - Rędziny, Czarnów, Kowary, Radzimowice, Miedzianka-Ciechanowice)
