The presented diploma thesis focuses on the sedimentological
research of the Lower Miocene sediments of the Czech part of
the Vienna Basin. Samples taken from drill cores of MND a.s.
were analyzed using lithofacies analysis, X-ray fluorescence
spectrometry, grain size analysis, laboratory gamma
spectrometry and study of translucent heavy minerals.
Sediments of Eggenburgian age most likely represent shallow
marine sediments, specifically, it could be the lower part of
the Lužice Formation. The studied sediments of the Ottnangian
age represent shallow-sea sediments deposited below the rising
water level, which are most likely part of the Hodonín sands -
the basal clastics of the Ottnangian. The deposition of the
studied sediments of Karpatian age most likely took place in
marine lagoons. Based on the similarity of the results of
analyzes of detrital garnets with the results from the
Carpathian Foredeep, Moravicum mica-schist and pararules were
considered as the source rocks of the sediments of Karpatian
age.
