Proceedings of the National Museum of Natural History, 2016, Nr 14, pages 35–46 New Data on the paleontological features of deposits from the Dyakivska series (Bashkirian Storey), Donets Basin doi: https://doi.org/10.15407/vnm.2016.14.035 author(s): Dernov, V. S. Summary: This paper deals with description of some paleontological findings in flysh-like deposits of the Dyakivska series, which have Bashkirian age and are spread in the central part of the Donets Basin. In these deposits the author found remains of corals, brachiopods, gastropods (Trepospira sp. others), pelecypods (Parallelodon sp., Anthraconeilo sp., Posidoniella sp. Nuculavus (?) sp., Phestia sp.), cephalopods (Gzheloceras sp., Gzheloceras (?) sp., Liroceras (?) sp., Lutuginoceras rotaii Libr. in A. Popov, Gastrioceras cf. listeri (Sowerby), Gastrioceras sp., Pseudobisatoceras sp.), crinoids (Platycrinites sp., Unilineatocrinus (?) sp.), phyllocarids (?), insects, acanthodians (Gyracanthus sp.). In addition to faunal fossils, in these deposits remains of terrestrial plants (Calamites sp., Cyperites sp., Sigillaria sp., Syringodendron sp., Knorria sp., roots of Lycopsids, Paripteris сf. gigantea (Sternberg) Gothan, Cordaites sp.,) and ichnofossils (Chondrites isp., Nereites isp., Phycodes isp., Mammillichnis (?) isp., Bascomella gigantea Morningstar) were identified. The late Bashkirian age of the upper part of the Dyakivska series is confirmed by new findings of ammonoid fauna. Acanthodian remains are the first findings of vertebrate animals in flysh-like deposits of the Dyakivska series. Besides, in these deposits a unique imprint of a giant dragon-fly was found as well. Keywords: Middle Carboniferous, Dyakivska series, flysh-like deposits, fossils, Donets Basin. Corresponding author address:
