KING-X,

yes, there are a couple of oligocene fish from this location in my gallery.

Not only the Polish but also the Rumanian Carpathians are rich sources of oligocene fossil fish. The collection of the Department of Palaeozoology in Wroclaw comprises ca. 13.000 specimens representing at least 50 genera. There is a nice publication titled: A framework of Ichthyofaunal ecostratigraphy by Anna Jerzmanska: http://www.asgp.pl/~...6_1_001_111.pdf
