Abstract
- The paper presents new finds of fossil fauna and flora at the rediscovered locality Krsmol "Deep gorge" ("Hluboká rokle") of the Ploužnice Horizon (Semily Formation, Krkonoše Piedmont Basin). Several metres thick reddish to grey tuffaceous siltstones of this lacustrine horizon contain 10 centimetres thick layer of grey, hard, siltstones with good fissility, containing one to two thin layers enriched in isolated osteological fragments of vertebrates at the base. Scales and teeth of actinopterygians, scales and fragments of the pectoral girdle of acanthodians are common, and teeth of chondrichthyans can be occasionally found. Rare scales of actinopterygians, isolated insect wings and sporadic plant remains are also present in the overlying reddish-purple siltstone. The newly found fauna in Krsmol extends the existing knowledge based on the old collections and coincides in species with the findings at other sites of the Ploužnice Horizon. From the biostratigraphic point of view, the findings of scales of actinopterygian fish Sphaerolepis kounoviensis, which is an important representative of the biozone corresponding to the uppermost Carboniferous shark teeth and especially the wings of the insect Sysciophlebia rubida of the family Spiloblattinidae are significant, on the basis of which the strata can be classified as Stefan B/C (Kasimovian/Gzhelian) similarly to the strata at other sites of the Ploužnice Horizon.
