Abstract

The lithostratigraphic and biostratigraphic subdivisions of the Cambrian sequence in the Holy Cross Mountains of Poland are briefly presented and discussed. In accordance with recent progress in Cambrian stratigraphy and correlation in Great Britain and Scandinavia, a new proposal for chronostratigraphic stages is made. It is suggested that these stages are suitable for the Cambrian areas of central and northwest Europe, comprising Great Britain, Scandinavia and Poland. The formal establishment of the stages, a task for the Commission on Cambrian Stratigraphy, could be made using British or Scandinavian stratotypes.
