Miocene limnic silicites of the Sokolov Basin, Czech Republic

RNDr. Petr Rojík, Ph.D., RNDr. Eva Kadlecová, Mgr. Daniel Horváth, RNDr. Vladimír Žáček

The paper deals with silicites in the Sokolov Basin (Lomnice, Vintířov - open pit mine Jiří, Sokolov). The stratigraphic position, morphology, mineralogy, geochemistry and paleontologic content (Gastropoda) of the silicites are characterized. The origin of rocks as a hydrotermal deposition of Burdigalian age is discussed. Silicites are closely bound on extensional tectonic faults. Beside stratiform beds and domes in the lignite seam, silicified vertical zones occur along the marginal faults of the Sokolov Basin. Silicites from Sokolov were used for the Mesolitic chipped stone industry (Tašovice near Karlovy Vary).

Keywords: silicite, limnic silicite, Miocene, Sokolov Basin, Gastropoda, mezolite
