Abstract

An abundance of fossil flora remains was found in diatomite upper-most in the coal measures of the field D opencut. Most of the taxa are represented by a numerosity of specimens (Glyptostrobus, Magnolia, Myrsina, Acer, Betulaceae, Fagaceae). The original plant community belonged to mesophilic deciduous broad-leafeđ forests. Its native environment was moist land near water bodies. The taxonomic composition suggests the subtropical climate. Compared with other Pontian floras on the Pannonian basin southem margin, this flora resembles most the flora in the coal overburden in Kreka.
