296 The Upper Cretaceous Floras of the World 



acteristic and widely distributed in middle Bohemia. Fric (1878) 

 describes four facies, i. e.: 



(1) Planerfacies with fossils (vicinity of Prague and Leitmeritz). 



(2) Planerfacies without fossils (vicinity of Rychnov and Politz.) 



(3) Quader facies with Inoceramus labiatus. 



(4) Littoral phase with Exogyra and Rhynchonella (Mallnitz and Dreiam- 



schel). 



The fauna is large, including 2 Eeptilia, 26 Pisces, 15 Cephalopoda, IS 



Gastropoda, 85 Pelecypoda, 6 Brachiopoda, 1 Bryozoa, 10 Crustacea, 7 



Echinodermata, 8 Porifera, and 11 Foraminifera. Numerous forms are 



identical with those from the Crate marneuse of France,- and the age is 



unquestionably Lower Turonian. The Weissenberger beds are capable of 



subdivision into three substages: 



Wehlowitzer Planer. 

 Launer Kalknollen. 

 Malnitzer Griinsand.

which also contains the most extensive fauna. The plants embrace the
