Stratigraphic correlations of Pienkowski et al.

Newly exposed horizontally laminated conglomeratic to sandstone layer in a mudstone series in the southern wall, in the upper part of the section. Courtesy of Krystyn Rubin. The stratigraphic position of the bone-bearing interval was clearly determined by two observations: (1) the bone- bearing strata occur just below the Wozniki Limestone cover, sparsely outcropping in the Kobylarz hill top (Fig. 11), and are associated with microbial, coquinoid and lime conglomeratic layers (Racki, 2010, figs 1, 2; Szulc et al., 2015, fig. 1SC—E), and (2) palynostratigraphic dating of the strata as the IVb Subzone (Heunisch in Szulc et al., 2006; see also Sadlok and Wawrzyniak, 2013). As in the nearby Poreba site, located 1.7 km NW, differently preserved, partly reworked bone material is found in rare conglomer- atic layers (Fig. 15B, C), whilst isolated and well-preserved remains occur in grey marly mudstones and claystones with carbonate concretions (see Racki, 2010, fig. 1; Fig. 15D). Large dicynodonts and predatory archosaurs of the genus Smok are especially distinct elements identified in the col- lected, not very rich bone material (Budziszewska-Karwow- A quite different stratigraphic concept, presented lastly by Niedzwiedzki et al. (2014, p. 1122), is therefore aston- ishing, especially in that the previous data are not discussed by these authors.

Ar- rows indicate alleged bone-rich horizons of the hypothetically-defined Lisowice level, suspected as a source for material exploited since 2009 in the adjacent mound of the Keuper deposits derived from the dig (see Figs 11, 15, 16).
