Оn the redeposited silurian ichthyofauna remains in the quaternary deposits of Belarus
Abstract
The paper presents for the first time the information on the redeposited remains (scales and tesserae) of the Silurian vertebrates found in the Quaternary deposits of Belarus. A complete systematic review and brief descriptions of the agnathan and fish taxa with the identification of their material, determination of their preservation degree, location and geographical distribution, as well as with an assumption of the age of the rock enclosing these ichthyofauna remains and their redeposition type.
