Paleontological
Heritage
Świętokrzyskie Region, Poland
Documented fossil localities spanning deep geological time, from the Devonian to the Middle Miocene.
A territory of paleontological discovery
The verified symposium inventory documents 20 localities across three voivodeships. Their recorded fossil traces range from early tetrapod footprints to dinosaur, pterosaur, archosaur, bird, mammal and dinosaur-ancestor tracks.
Geological timeline
The timeline is built from the geological-age terminology recorded in the official inventory. It is deliberately kept separate from the KML until site coordinates are formally verified.

The sites on the map
No locations are plotted in this prototype. The final interactive map will be populated only from verified coordinates associated with the official site inventory, rather than from the manually created KML.
