Index of Fossiliferous Localities of the Mílina Formation (Lower Ordovician of the Prague Basin, Czech Republic)

Abstract

Twenty-two fossiliferous localities of the Mílina Formation described herein represent all fossil sites of this unit we have found mentioned in publications. Fossil taxa from relevant papers are summarized and historic names used for the localities are listed. Updated lists of fauna are compiled for each locality; based on these an overall list for the formation is concluded.

Index of Fossiliferous Localities of the Olešná Member, Klabava Formation (Lower Ordovician of the Prague Basin, Czech Republic)

“…Lithology: Chert with tuffaceous admixture. Remarks: Fossils as follow, referred to the Mílina Formation, likely come from the Olešná Member of the Klabava Formation as mentioned by Kraft et al (2015). Havlíček & Šnajdr (1952) In the same paper, Havlíček & Šnajdr (1952) mentioned another locality of the Olešná Member near the town: les Kalvárie severně od Řevnic [Kalvárie Forest north of Řevnice].…”

“…jehlice hub [ Klouček (1919) -see above. That is why the second species in the following list was mentioned by Kraft et al (2015) but in the synopsis of the locality Svatá Dobrotivá.) Obolus complexus Barrande Lingulella insons (Barr.)…”

“…2). That is why the taxa, such as Jivinella slaviki (Klouček, 1915) and Schmidtites sp., recorded in this unit by Mergl (1986) at several localities were listed in Kraft et al (2015) and they are not listed Mergl (1986). 1 -red or brownviolet fine-grained lithic sandstone, 2 -red shale, 3 -red and grey chert (after Mergl 1986, modified). herein to occur in the Olešná Member.…”

“…(Based on the lithotypes described in the text it is very probable that the following list published therein is a mixture of taxa collected in the Mílina Formation and the Olešná Member. It was not mentioned by Kraft et al 2015 Deduced from the chapter title in the book it is situated in the area between or around Jívina and Komárov. The specification in the text shows that it can be the foot part of the eastern slope of Jívina Hill above the Jalový potok Brook rather than the locality Kleštěnice -Jalový potok Brook.…”

“…Dobrotivá. (The following list was mentioned by Kraft et al (2015) in the study on the Mílina Formation as coming from this unit. However, it cannot be unequivocally excluded that the fossils or some of them, at least, were collected from the Olešná Member.)…”
