(2012): Fossils in Late Cretaceous to Early Palaeocene flint nodules embedded in Pleistocene glaciofluvial sediments near Fukov (Děčín district, Northern Bohemia). – Acta Mus. Nat. Pragae, Ser. B, Hist. Nat., 68(3-4): 119-131. Praha. ISSN 0036-5343. Abstract. Faunal and floral fossil remains of Late Cretaceous – Early Palaeocene age were recovered from flint pebbles from glaciofluvial gravel sediments in the Fukov area, northern Bohemia, the Czech Republic. Sedimentology of these sediments is discussed. Suggestions are made regarding the origin of the flints and their possible sources.
