Succession of the Tithonian to Berriasian brachiopod faunas at Rogoznik, Pieniny Klippen Belt

Abstract

A succession of the brachiopod faunas within the Tithonian to Berriasian strata exposed in the classical section at the Rogoża Klippes of Rogoźnik in the Pieniny Klippen Belt, southern Poland, is recognized. A bed-by-bed analysis of particular strata reveals the dominance of the family Pygopidae in the Lower and Middle Tithonian, and the families Wellerellidae and Dallinidae in the Upper Tithonian and Berriasian.
