2022Important Fossils from Slovakia - Gastropod Vexillum (Costellaria) Neudorfensis - First Day Cover

Devínska Kobyla hill (514 m) forms the south-eastern ridge of the Little Carpathians. A large number of paleontological sites makes this place unique. These include Bonanza, a significant paleontological site, that is located on the northern edge of Devínska Kobyla, between the boroughs of Dúbravka and Devínska Nová Ves. The site is a rift in the Mesozoic limestone that is filled with marine sediments from the Early Tertiary – Miocene periods. Excavations have revealed rare fossils of marine and terrestrial vertebrates.
