Gastropods and plant impressions associated with gomphothere jaw, coal mine in Poland

I acquired a ?juvenile gomphothere jaw supposedly from a coal mine in Poland. I wondered if anyone would be able to identify the associated fossils in the coal deposits. I assume they won't be identifiable due to the incompleteness and lack of site information but I hope to be surprised.

 

There's numerous subcentimeter gastropod shells and there's several linear leaf impressions on the back.

This looks like a horsetail. The gastropods appear to be Planorbis or similar.

That would make sense with the lignite coal being compressed freshwater marsh. Thanks.
