	Variscan diastrophic sediments
		The ages of the folded and detached segments (formations) diminish towards the E. The Middle to late Visean basin fills were sedimented in a setting of maturing CIA with scarcely preserved features of OIA.
		The youngest siliciclastics of the latest Visean to early Namurian(?) age were deposited in a CIA to ACM setting, and were provided by a homogeneous acidic arc source.
		The main DS volumes were deposited during the Visean to Visean/Namurian-A, but the oldest DS formation on the Northwest is in close contact with the Givetian trilobite shale and can be also Devonian(?).

		It is possible, that late Visean siltstone and conglomerate formations continued this stack of sequences in a sense of sedimentary, not tectonic continuation.
		Block D (on the northeast of the quarries) is fairly similar, with an exception for direct cover of the Vilemovice (Mokra) limestone.
		This cover consists of dark gray detritic banks, in contrast with lenticular limestones of the blocks C and E. Block E corresponds to well-known sequences of the Western Quarry of Mokra.

		As Tournasian-early Visean carbonate deposition was widespread in the range of 30 degrees north to 10 degrees south, the very restricted paleogeographic distribution of Waulsortian and Waulsortian-like mound locations suggests a mechanism or set of conditions which effectively limited the distribution of mud mounds.
		Use of the Visean global reconstruction is appropriate because the relative positions of Laurussia and Gondwana changed only slightly over the Tournaisian-Visean interval, and the relatively slow rate of Laurussian drift only moved that paleocontinent approximately 1 degree south during the Tournaisian-early Visean (drift rate from Ross and Ross, 1985).
		The probable tracks of some Tournaisian-early Visean hurricanes and tropical storms nucleating in the eastern Panthalassa ocean would have lead ultimately onto the continental shelves of North China-Tsaidam, Tarim, and Kazakhstania and the northern shelf system of Gondwana, including the South China platform, the Shan Thai-Malaysia block, and the northern basins of Australia (Fig.

	Extended Abstract SPP '98
		The history of the Variscan Rhenohercynian foreland-basin from Visean to Stephanian was subject of several studies by the authors in the last years.
		Starting in the Upper Visean, more than 2000 m of a turbiditic succession was deposited in the asymmetric Rhenohercynian flysch-basin.
		In the Lower Carboniferous, a general thinning of the successions of the foreland in the NW is observed.

		Initial estimates suggest that the oil in place in the Visean Carbonate could be in the order of 40 to 50 mm barrels with recoverable reserves of 6 to 8 mm barrels.
		However, the well logs also indicated that the higher Visean Carbonate was likely to be oil bearing and this zone was tested.

		Precise paleotemperature measures are lacking for the Tournaisian-early Visean, however, some general statements can be made about the climates during this time.
		According to the first-order climatic curve of Fischer (1982), the early Carboniferous (Tournaisian-early Visean) was a time of transition in long-term global regimen from a "greenhouse" world to an "icehouse" world.
		From this fact we can infer that, during the Northern Hemisphere summer and early fall, the Tournaisian-early Visean ITCZ would have been situated somewhere over the southern part of the largely emergent Laurussian paleocontinent and, therefore, would not have generated any hurricanes and tropical storms which might have impinged upon southern Laurussian shelf systems.

		A seasonal humid climate was dominant in the mid-late Visean, reflected by the presence of many Gelysols, Podzols, Histosols and Vertisols.
		Semi-arid conditions prevailed in the late Asbian – early Brigantian known from the presence of Aridisols and groundwater calcrete, and a reversion to humid / seasonal humid climate occurred from the mid Brigantian onwards.
		This relationship however, is also found in some palaeosoils without evidenec of a major marine transgression, suggesting that there is a smaller-scale cyclicity leading to hanging base-level.

		First, in the wake of the Late Devonian mass extinction event, the five major crinoid clades re-radiated in the Early Mississippian, particularly the camerates, which reached their Paleozoic peak (52) in the Visean.
		The advanced cladids also continued to radiate from their origin in the Early Devonian and reached a peak in the Visean (76) that was not exceeded again until the Moscovian (100).
