rassic to Quaternary. 
After the strong volcanic activity of Tournaisian 
/diabases and tuffites/ there ocoured the continuous 
sedimentation from Visean to Westphalian which resul 
ted in formation of the thiok series of coal-bearing 
sediments the thiokness of which reaches 2000m in SW 
part of the basin. 
The initial shape of the coal basin was formed by 
Asturian movements of post-Westphalian age. They cau 
sed a development of NW-SE elongated unit called Ma- 
zowsze-Lublin graben which represents a moved down 
part of the platform /Fig.3/. 
The following structural units of the Lublin coal 
basin distriot occur in the area tested /Fig.2B/: 
- Kock horst anticline, lukdw horst and Wlodawa fault 
through /which all belong to the elevated part of the 
platform/ and - Stoczek-Dorohucza syncline /with Abra- 
m6w-2yrzyn horst/ - a part of D$b1in-Krasnystaw swell. 
The numerous faults forming the zone of well develo 
ped set of NE-SW direction /transversal faults -Breto- 
nian in age/ and less distinct NW-SE set /longitudinal 
-Asturian in age/ occur to the north-east of Kook 
horst antioline. Such the net of faults implies a re 
latively simple block tectonic pattern of Palaeozoic 
sediments in that part of the region. 
The area to the south-west seems to be tectonically 
more complicated. It consists of numerous elongated 
anticlines and synclines stretching NW-SE and compli 
cated by transwersal and longitudinal faults. 
The top surface of carboniferous sediments in Lublin 
ooal basin has erosional character and is inclined SW 
/Fig.2B/ from about 400m b.s.l. to about 800 m b.s.l. 
The thick Mesozoic series of Middle Jurassic to Up 
per Cretaceous sediments lies on the Carboniferous 
deposits. Jurassic has sandy-clayish and carbonate 
character. In Lower Cretaoeous, after erosion due to 
Young Cimmerian movements the sedimentation of carbo 
nates has begun starting from Albian or Cenomanian 
and persisted till Coniacian. The sediments of Upper 
Cretaceous display an increasing content of clay ma 
terial. The sedimentation of this type prevailed up 
to Palaeocene. The general thickness of Mesozoic in 
Lublin coal basin district increases from about 200m 
in NE to more than 1000m in Mazowsze-Lublin graben. 
In the top of Mesozoic there occur numerous disjunc 
tive deformations of a discussed origin when it con 
cerns their relation to the Palaeozoic deformations. 
According to the opinion of some authors a Mesozoic 
cover has been dislocated to some extent separately 
from the structures of the older basement /after dé 
collement/. It is evident, however, /i.a. Henkiel 
1983/ that some of the existing dislocations or their 
systems show a distinct relation to the tectonic ele 
ments of Palaeozoic, as e.g. Mesozoic lineament Kock- 
-Lçczna corresponding to the Palaeozoic Kock horst 
anticline. The character of Mesozoic faults in both 
the side-areas of this horst changes similarly to the 
palaeozoic pattern. In the area to NE from the horst 
the regular pattern of Meso- and Cainozoic faults cor 
responds /to some extent/ to that of Palaeozoic ones. 
To SW, however, the total Mesozoic disjunctive pattern 
seems to be less distinct and displays an increasing 
number of fractures and faults. The directions there 
are subordinated to the general stress field orien 
tation connected with a strike-slip character of the 
faults in the marginal zone of Mazowsze-Lublin graben. 
There exist also some tectonic zones in Mesozoic sedi 
ments which show no relation to the known structures 
of the older basement. 
Tertiary in the area of Lublin coal basin is repre 
sented by the strongly eroded and dissected sediments 
/marls, opocas, gaises, glauconite sands, clays, sands 
and siltstones/ of locally varied thickness from 60m 
in Mazowsze-Lublin graben to 200m farther to NE. 
The Quaternary cover lies either on the Tertiary se 
diments or directly on the Cretaceous strata. It is 
built of the following sediments: loose and soft gla 
cial sediments /sands, tills and loesses/ of Pleisto 
cene age and total thickness 0 - 100m, of Holocene 
lake deposits /thickness 0 - 60m/, as well as - of ri 
ver and eolian deposits. 
When discussing the tectonic processes in the Meso- 
- and Cainozoio sediments of the area examined the 
most oomplete information has been presented by 
Henkiel /1983/- Fig.5. He distinguishes several pha 
ses of tectonic movements influencing the faults and 
fractures development. The oldest disjunctive structu 
res /faults and small grabens/ with NE - SW orienta 
tion are believed to be of Eocene age while some W-E 
and NE-SW faults and grabens with N-S orientation are 
defined as post-Sarmatian ones. Finally - some long 
- latitudinally oriented fault structures as well as 
several sets of differently oriented faults are belie 
ved to be due to the last phase of Alpine movements. 
4 REMOTE SENSING MATERIALS AND THEIR INTERPRETATION 
Such the remote sensing materials have been used in 
the paper; - Landsat images, namely soenes; E-2244- 
08442, E-2946-08211, E-2298-08434, E-2892-08240, 
E-2928-08221, E-0087-08451, E-21090-08142, E-2155- 
08512 and E-0448-08513. They have been visually inter 
preted in the form of false colour compositions /FCC/ 
and photos of different bands of MSS /black and white, 
papers/ enlarged to a scale 1;500 000, as well as co 
lour compositions obtained by the means of Additive 
Color Viewer /Is/; - airborne side-looking radar ima 
ges of the Soviet system Toros. They have been used 
in a form of diapositive films and interpreted with 
a help of Zoom Transfer Scope - Bausch and Lomb.
