New finds of well-preserved Tithonian (Late Jurassic) fossils from Owadów–Brzezinki Quarry, Central Poland: a review and perspectives

Journal Title: Volumina Jurassica - Year 2016, Vol 14, Issue 1

Abstract

Abstract. Here we briefly report the discovery of new, exceptionally well-preserved Late Jurassic (Tithonian) fossils from Owadów–Brzezinki quarry – one of the most important palaeontological sites in Poland. These finds which comprise organisms living originally in different environments indicate that the Owadów–Brzezinki site represents a link – most probably in a form of open marine passages – betweeen distinct palaeobiogeographical provinces. This creates an unprecedented opportunity for better recognition of the regional palaeobiogeography of adjacent European areas during the Late Jurassic.
