Cambrian fossils from the Barrandian area (Czech Republic) housed in the Musee d'Histoire Naturelle de Lille
Abstract
A complete list of fossils originating from the Cambrian of the Barrandian area and housed in the Musée d'Histoire Naturelle de Lille is compiled. The collection includes two agnostids, ten trilobites, one brachiopod and one echinoderm species, all collected at ten outcrops in the Buchava Formation of the Skryje-Týřovice Basin and most probably also at two outcrops in the Jince Formation of the Příbram-Jince Basin.
A large part of the material was collected by Prof. Charles BARROIS and Dr.
Louis DOLLÉ (both University of Lille) during the excursion organised before the Ninth International Geological Congress in Vienna in 1903. Other, poorly documented specimens were purchased from the enterprise KRANTZ towards the end of the 19th century and in the first years of 20th century.
The geographic position and stratigraphy of outcrops, from which the material originates, are briefly discussed.
