V. Sitar et Z. Kvacek, ADDITIONS AND REVISIONS TO THE EARLY MIOCENE FLORA OF LIPOVANY (SOUTHERN SLOVAKIA), Geologica Carpathica, 48(4), 1997, pp. 263-280
The site of Lipovany situated in Southern Slovakia near Lucenec has yi
elded new plant fossils including 1 bryophyte, 2 ferns, 2 conifers and
27 angiosperms. The vegetation corresponds to evergreen notophyllous/
microphyllous broad-leaved forest suggesting subtropical humid conditi
ons. Instead of the previous stratigraphical interpretation (Ottnangia
n), the age of the locality is older, i.e. the Eggenburgian according
to new radiometric data. The nearest locality Ipolytarnoc in Hungary,
belongs to the same floristic complex.
