Geology
Short characteristics of the site:
The Taliánská skála locality is situated near Prostějov within the Vranovice-Kelčice cadastral area.
It is an old abandoned quarry in Lower Badenian sediments of the Carpathian Foredeep belonging to the formation with algal limestones. By macroscopic study of the rocks at the locality it has been ascertained that they are represented by sandy limestones to calcareous sandstones. Rocks are relatively rich in fossils. The following species were found: the worm Ditrupa cornea (Linnaeus), bivalves Aequipecten macrotis (Sowerbyin Smith), Corbula cf. gibba (Olivi), Panopea (Panopea) menardi (Deshayes), Tellina sp. and ?Ervilia sp., one undeterminable bryozoan and the ichnofossil Ophiomorpha isp.
In the thin-sections from the rocks collected at the locality there were identified foraminifers, ostracods, echinoderms (echinoids) and worms.
