Abstract:
A state of art overview of the Silurian System within the deep substratum of the East European Platform (EEP) is
presented. Structural Regions are characterized in terms of biostratigraphy, tectonics and palaeogeography.
The most instructive sections based on keywells have been briefly described with an emphasis on the western
margin of the platform. The Silurian basin displays a typical platform development and may be traced from the
neritic to the deep basinal facies. While the neritic belt is recognized from Gotland through Estonia, Volhynia to
Podolia, the deep basinal facies has been documented NE of the Törnquist Teisseyre lineament. The results
presented are based on some 700 deep borings. They offer a summary of Silurian history of NE Poland and the
adjacent areas, as well as a setting for graptolite biostratigraphy.
