Relics of the oldest glaciofluvial sediments of the Czarny Dunajec River in Podhale (Western Carpathians)

Described are relics of glaciofluvial deposits related to the Mindel glaciation in the Tatra Mountains, preserved along the course of the Czarny Dunajec River in Podhale (Western Carpathians). Distribution, spatial relations, hypsometry and petrography are described for eleven selected sites in Pogórze Gubałowskie and Kotlina Orawska. The mechanisms and the degree of their removal are discussed in the context of their position relative to the pattern of drainage. Their predominantly quartzitic composition is attributed to selective weathering. Local disturbances of their hypsometric position are related to neotectonic movements.
