Fossil remains of birds from Dziadowa Skała Cave, Central Poland
Abstract:
Remains of 20 species of birds from Dziadowa Skała Cave, Central Poland, are described. Successive layers of the sediments are dated back to the Eemian Interglacial, the Vistulian and the Holocene. The most interesting fossils among them are those of Tetrao urogallus and Lyrurus tetrix from the Eemian Interglacial because those species have not been known from that period in Poland. It seems that at least clumps of trees must have covered the nearby area at the time of sedimentation of all layers containing bird fossils.
