Note:
Dating - the age of so-called Wojcieszów limestones was considered uncertain due to the lack of good index fossils, but the data from 2000-2003, based on incl. on foraminifera and vertebrates, indicated the Ordovician. Only the discovery of numerous and well-preserved paleontological sites in the Wojcieszów limestones made it possible to prove their early Cambrian age.
