Together with the [[Jura Krakowsko-Częstochowska]] and some other regions, the mountains form a region called the [[Lesser Poland Upland|Lesser-Poland Upland]] (''Wyżyna Małopolska''). Geologically speaking, the Holy Cross Mountains possess also a margin which extends further than the mountains themselves; the [[Owadów–Brzezinki site|Owadów–Brzezinki palaeontological site]] is situated in the margin of the Holy Cross Mountains, but not in the mountains themselves.
