Includes fossils? | Y |
Lithology description: The Sibnica 4 fossil locality is at close distance to Sibnica 1 and 2. The bed containing the fossil remains is 50 to 100 cm thick and consists of greyish-green sandy-clays, rich in concretions formed around organic remains, mostly molluscs. | |
Environment: | fluvial-lacustrine indet. |
Taphonomy
Modes of preservation: | body,concretion |
Size of fossils: | macrofossils,mesofossils |
Collection methods and comments
Collection methods: | bulk,sieve,field collection,survey of museum collection |
Reason for describing collection: | taxonomic analysis |
Taxonomic list comments:Duric states that "The composition of the [herpeto-]fauna from [Sibnica 1, 2 and 4] is taxonomically pretty similar.", but does not specify where each taxon in their list comes from. Therefore all taxa they mention are included in all three collections until new literature says otherwise. |
