Drzewica Formation: Śmiłów Quarry
Remake of the original picture of the Drzewica Fomation. Recostruction of the inland
environment tof the modern Śmiłów Quarry (Mostly Seashore or related) Member of the

Drzewica Formation. Drezewica Formation is dated from the Late Pliensbachian , Margantatus-
Spinatum Subzone (Pieńkowski, 2004).

The Fauna and flora appear based on the reported Footprints & fossil wood Diversified trace
fossils are common.Plant fossils are common. Origin— nearshore depositional system, delta
depositional system,barrier-lagoon depositional system. In the picture appear various members
of the family Taxodiaceae, even Sequoidea relativa indet. mostly built as the new genus
Medulloprotaxodioxylon triassicum or Other members of the family across the Globe.
Gleichenia sp., Cytheales, and Polypodiales indet. (Pacyna G., 2013).
Dinosaur Species appeared:
-Orionides spp. based on gigantic reported Footprints. The Footprints are atributed to the
ichnogenus Megalosauripus sp. (Grzegorz Niedźwiedzki, Zbyszek Remink: 2008). The assignation to
the Orionides Group comes tho the find of a partial Upper Jaw, similar to the found on the
genus Duriavenator, with several primitive Characters. With 60 cm footprins and a Skull over
90 cm is stimated a total length over 9,5 m. A tibia and several caudal vertebrae also where
found.
-Vulcanodontidae spp. based on Parabrontopodus sp. Also nest-like strucutures Where found
on the Hettangian Zagaje Formation.
-Coelophysoidea spp., based on Anchisauripus sp. Vertebrae fossils atributted where also
found.
-Dyzio the Dilophosaurid (Dilophosauriade indet.): is based on abundant Kayentapus sp. A
distinctive crouching trace, similar tho those of the Nerwark supergroup (Gerard Dariusz
Gierlinski, Martin G. Lockley, Grzegorz Niedźwiedzki:2009 ). Also includes a partial Skull, tibia and
femur also Where found, resembling of those found in D wetherilli type specimen.
-Massospondylidae spp. Otozum relativa tracks, also includes neck vertebrae and several
phalanges.
