ABSTRACT
Leaf macroremains collected in the Bełchatów Lignite Mine (central Poland) were investigated. The
fossil assemblage consists of leaves of Acer, Betula, Carpinus, Dicotylophyllum, Fagus, ?Magnolia, “Parrotia”,
Pinus, Quercus, and Zelkova. Mesophytic (zonal) elements dominate, with admixture of riparian (azonal) leaf
taxa. The floristic composition points to late Neogene (late Miocene to late Pliocene) age and suggests favourable
temperate climate with mild winters.
