A rich assemblage of exceptionally preserved marine and terrestrial fossils occurs in fine-grained limestones in the upper part of the Late Tithonian (Middle Volgian) shallowing upward carbonate sequence in Central Poland. The richest horizon, a deposit known locally as the Corbulomima horizon, is named after the shallow burrowing suspension feeding bivalve Corbulomima obscura, moulds of which occur in densities of up to 500 per square metre on some bedding planes. The fauna in this bed also…

A new pancryptodiran turtle from the Late Jurassic of Poland and palaeobiology of early marine turtles
- Environmental Science, Geography

A new pancryptodiran turtle genus and species, Owadowia borsukbialynickae, is described from the uppermost Jurassic (Tithonian, ca. 148 Ma) carbonate sediments of the Kcynia Formation in Owadow-Brzezinki Quarry, near Tomaszow Mazowiecki in central Poland and it is proposed that the new specimen belongs to a new durophagous pancrypto-turtle taxon.

It is shown that there are no important morphological differences between the Kcynia Formation specimens and extant juvenile representatives of the genus Limulus, and the adoption of a new term stabilomorphism is proposed.
