context_page_description: The Ciechocinek Formation, is a Jurassic geologic formation that extends from Grimmen, Germany, to Poland. Dinosaur remains are among the fossils that have been recovered from the formation, including the Thyreorporan Emausaurus and others which have not yet been referred to a specific genus. On Poland, the main basin if charaserized mostly by lack of marine microfauna in the Częstochowa-Zawiercie area. It is mainly composed by Foraminiferans: Ammodiscus glumaceous, Trochammina? sp., Lagenammina sp., Saccammina? sp. and Dentalina sp., as well as the Ostracodan Liasina sp. The crustacean Estheria is relatively abundant, along traces of Diplocraterion and the inconclusive remains of Clams, Snails and Fish teeth. The discussed settlement complex, due to its characteristic lithological education with floristic and faunistic analogies, allows without difficulty to parallelize with similarly developed sediments in the Polish Lowlands.
