It's my pleasure to show a little bit of my country to the Forum and possibly encourage some members to pay a visit  It's not that far from you, actually 

London to Warsaw is about 12 hours by car?

Distance from Carpathian Mountains to Plainview

5,072 mi

 

Ludwigia may be a tad bit closer.

It's not as far as it would be if you got there by going west!  It's only a quarter of the distance in fact.

@Kasia This is a great trip report and love all of the pictures, the matrix looks similar the the Cambrian matrix that I collect in Georgia. Thanks for posting such a nice report.

Description

Georgia, a country at the intersection of Europe and Asia, is a former Soviet republic that’s home to Caucasus Mountain villages and Black Sea beaches. It’s famous for Vardzia, a sprawling cave monastery dating to the 12th century, and the ancient wine-growing region Kakheti. The capital, Tbilisi, is known for the diverse architecture and mazelike, cobblestone streets of its old town.

No idea - but from Ludwigia's place (Germany), it should not be more than 6-7 hours.

If the fishes are there, the coprolites might be associated with them.
Nice trip report with relevant pictures! I love it! Thank you for this! 

That was my first guess - I'm hoping on help with proper ID from the guy who does the preparation. 

Thanks
