Rhaetian fish remains from the, Tatra Mountains

Abstract

The fish remains extracted from bone beds occurring in the sub-tatric Rhaetian of the Mt. Hradok and Lejowa Valley sections in the Tatra Mountains are briefly described. The fauna comprises well established Rhaetian shark, and actinopterygian genera. It is concluded that the vertebrate remains from Mt. Hradok, are primary components of the sediments in which they have been found. The Lejowa Valley bone bed appears to contain both, primary and prefossilised vertebrate remains.
