Abstract

Revision of fossils from the current territory of Poland housed in the Natural History Museum in Vienna.A b s t r a c t. Current territory of Poland was an exploration area for paleontologists from other Europeancountries throughout the almost entire nineteenth century. A considerable part of findings were stored ininstitutions located beyond current borders of Poland. We have examined, documented and identified above350 fossils housed in the Natural History Museum in Vienna (Naturhistorisches Museum Wien). The collectionincludes paleobotanical and paleozoological specimens from the Little Poland and the Upper Silesia. Some of these specimens are a unique material from the localities which are no longer available.
