Abstract
Until now, only one representative of the trilobite Odontopleura ovata Emmrich, 1839, belonging to the Odontopleura Emmrich, 1839 genus and classified into the Odontopleuridae Burmeister, 1843 family, has been known. The paper presents a new Silurian trilobite species classified into the Odontopleura genus. Trilobites of the Odontopleurida Whittington, 1959 order lived within a time period from the Middle Cambrian to the Upper Devonian. At present, their fossilised remnants can be found on every continent.
Highlights
Silurian deposits in Poland have been long known from natural surface exposures occurring in the Swietokrzyskie Mountains and the Sudeten
In Pomerania, Scandinavian postglacial deposits are found on the surface as Quaternary deposits
Good locations for searching for fossils are opencast mines. Such a place is for example the Gravel Pit in Mielenek Drawski near Drawsko Pomorskie in the Central Pomerania
Summary
In Pomerania (north and north-western Poland), Scandinavian postglacial deposits are found on the surface as Quaternary deposits. Such a place is for example the Gravel Pit in Mielenek Drawski near Drawsko Pomorskie in the Central Pomerania. Locality The whole Western Pomerania is covered with the mantle of deposits left by the Scandinavian ice-sheet.
