Corbicularia cracoviensis Baliński, 1979

Fig. 6B, C .

1979 Corbicularia cracoviensis sp. nov.; Baliński 1979: 30–31, pl. 2: 5–10, pl. 3: 8–9.

Material.—Two single valves embedded in rock from beds 48 and 90 of Wietrznia Ie section.

Remarks.—Despite very poor state of preservation of specimens from Wietrznia they can be quite confidently attributed to the species which was earlier described from the Early Frasnian of the Dębnik anticline ( Baliński 1979).

Occurrence.—The species was described from the Cyrtospirifer bisellatus brachiopod Zone of the Dębnik anticline ( Baliński 1979). Now recovered specimens come from Wietrznia Ie section.
