Mokrá Plateau and Contiguous Valley of Říčka Creek: Development of Drainage Pattern and Karstic Features in Cenozoic The surface of the Mokrá Plateau (southern part of the Moravian Karst) is an old relief formed before the Badenian transgression. The whole area is intensively karstified; most of the underground phenomena are...

Deposition and erosion stages in the Moravian Karst Moravian Karst represents the largest and the most important karst territory in the Czech Republic, with regard to its long scientific research and the excellent development of broad spectrum of surface and underground karst phenomena, including a number of active stream sinks...

The new bear species from Bilzingsleben The description of the new bear species appeared in the journal MUNIBE. Since the used species name „hercynicus“ pre-existes, I rename this bear with the new name Ursus ambiguus sp.n....

The environment in the Last Glacial on the territory of Moravia The environment of the territory of the South Moravia (Czech Republic) was not all the Last Glacial round an inhospitable arctic desert with the permafrost 200-300 m, corresponding roughly to the present taiga or tundra. The new information of...

A dinotherium skeleton from Česká Třebová The article deals with the history of the determination of the genus Deinotherium in the last century and then the find circumstances of skeletons in the Česká Třebová region (West Bohemia, Czech Republic).The old find of the juvenile skeleton from this locality is described...

Collections of geological sciences and their importance Collection forming activity of any type is intrinsic to people. Collections have thus arisen at any time, differing only by their purpose. In the contribution types of collections of geological sciences are mentioned that have originated recently. In more detail are discussed collection...

The climate of the Last Glacial The paper confronts all information of environment of some dated sites in Europe. Mosaic environment concerns not only vegetable and animal associations but in similar degree the anorganic nature too (for instance permafrost, ice wedges)....

...Two main periods of paleontological research took place inside the cave. R. Musil worked here, then J. Svoboda with L. Seitl. In 2011, the third period began, as the landslide exposed new, unprospected fossiliferous sediments. During this research, three layers were set. The C layer represents basal fossiliferous bed with...

...1890 and from 1896 to 1898). Multidisciplinary research took place in this cave from 1956 to 1958, led by R. Musil and K. Valoch and new multidisciplinary research in the Pod hradem Cave took place in 2011, 2012 and 2016 under the leadership of L. Nejman. The Barová Cave was...

Preliminary results of investigation of Neogene vertebrates from the Mokrá-Quarry site The westernmost part of the Mokrá-Quarry is typical with occurrences of carstic phenomena including fossiliferous sediments within carstic fissures. Two fossiliferous carstic fissures (1/2001; 2/2003) have recently been discovered containing abundant Neogene fauna of terrestrial vertebrates: Chelotriton cf. paradoxus,...

...a water-washable fraction deposited in sludge ponds. This waste could be used to produce glauconite concentrate by magnetic separation. Monomineral glauconite concentrates are used, for example, in the pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries. Lower purity glauconite concentrates (glauconite rich fine-grained sands) can be marketed as potassium fertilizer and soil conditioner.  ...

...complicated system of corridors, shafts and domes, part of the Býší skála/Rudické propadání (Bull Rock) cave system. Since the discovery, many bone remains have been found, mainly in the entrance part of the cave (from the entrance chamber to the Shaft I and Shaft II). In 1958, R. Musil excavated...

...deposited in Moravian Museum collections. The femur excavated by R. Musil in 1958 shows heavily damaged proximal part, as the consequence of the fracture of colum femoris with crash deformation of both trochanter major and caput femoris. That wound had to heal for several weeks, what could only be to...

...cave, where over 90 % of all bones belongs to cave bears. Material from all the researches – Sobol and Strnad, Musil, Bartoň, Seitl and Svoboda, Roblíčková, Káňa and Plichta was used. Almost 450 teeth were measured. The basic measurements of length and width of the teeth and the morphology...

...place in the cave. R. Musil worked here in 1958, then J. Svoboda with L. Seitl (1983–1986). A third paleontological survey was launched in 2011 as a landslide revealed new, unexplored fossiliferous sediments. Six test pits were dug during this research. This paper summarizes the results of the analysis of...
