Trilobites from the Givetian and Frasnian of the Holy Cross Mountains
Ivo Chlupáĉ
Three species of Givetian and Frasnian trilobites have been recognized in the stromatoporoid-coral platform and Dyminy reef complex (Kowala Formation) of the southern part of the Holy Cross Mts, and two more in deeper facies of the Kostomłoty area. Representatives of the genus Scutellum, common in the shallow water (related to carbonate buildups) associations of the Variscan Europe, are most widespread and diversified. Cyrtodechenella(?) declinans sp. n., Phacops (Chotecops) zofiae sp. n., and Scutellum mariae sp. n. are proposed.
Key words: trilobites, taxonomy, Devonian, Poland.
