| Summary: | One of the largest and best known, but never completely investigated, fossil carpological floras
of the Zittau Basin is revised. The list of revised taxa is supplemented with materials left by H. Czeczott and
her team, and newly collected specimens. New combinations are proposed for four species. On the basis of taxa
obtained and their location in the geological profile, Turów floras are assigned to two biostratigraphic stages of
the Lower Miocene. The Integrated Plant Record vegetation analysis indicates domination of zonal broad-leaved
evergreen forest in most studied fossil assemblages from Turów open pit mine (SW Poland). The palaeoclimate
reconstruction using the Coexistence Approach method reveals MAT 17–22°C and MAP 1200–1600 mm for most
floristic levels. The obtained palaeovegetation and palaeoclimate parameters correspond with those of other
coeval floras of the Zittau Basin and Lusatia. |
