Abstract: | Miocene fauna of land mammals is known from numerous fossil localities in western Europe but its remains are rare in the north-eastern part of this continent. The open brown coal mine at Bełchatów in central Poland revealed numerous remains of small and large mammals representing three Miocene biozones from MN4 to MN8/9. They indicate the presence of relatively stable subtropical conditions during all the time of the Miocene deposition in the Bełchatów basin with only slight cooling before the end of the sedimentation. |
