The presence of proetid trilobites remnants is reported for the first time from the early Carboniferous limestones of the Dębnik Anticline outcropped in the Racławka valley, the eastern part of the Upper Silesian Block (southern part of the Cracow Upland). Disintegrated exoskeletons of trilobites have been found in thin sections of fine-grained, peloidal wackstones and packstones. These rocks contain also foraminifers which indicate the Early Tournaisian age of this founding.Downloads
