Abstract
The Podlazie locality was examined during the fieldwork in 2011–2012 financed by the Ministry of Science and Higher Education (grant IP2010 041470 to PS).
Highlights
The siliciclastic sequence of the Lower Devonian of the southern part of the Holy Cross Mountains in Poland is renown for abundant vertebrate fossils, including ostracoderm, sarcopterygian, acanthodian, chondrichthyan, and placoderm remains
Study of the vertebrate assemblage from the “placoderm sandstone” from Podłazie Hill in the Holy Cross Mountains reveals that the remains belong to Kujdanowiaspis sp. among other unspecified actinolepids and brachythoracids
The Polish actinolepid material is characterised by sizes bigger than those of the Podolian specimens; this may be related to geographic variation
