CONCLUSIONS 



(1) The composition of the Jaslo shales fauna differs very distinctly 

 from the fish assemblage previously recorded from the Carpathian 

 Flysch. Clupea sardinites Heck is the only form common to the Jaslo 

 and the menilite shales. 



(2) According to stratigraphic evidence the presence of Clupea 

 sardinites Heck, indicates the Oligocene age of the Jaslo shales. 



(3) The mass occurrence of bathypelagic fish remains with lumi- 

 nous organs indicates that the Jaslo shales sedimented in a deep-sea 

 basin.
