“…In contrast to the aquatic realm , terrestrial biogeographic patterns of the European Neogene are still poorly understood (Höltke et al 2016). Therefore, it is desirable to survey and review the mollusc assemblages of key localities, such as Nowa Wieś Królewska, as already performed for Tuchořice (Czech Republic), Rein (Austria), Eichkogel (Austria), Moncucco Torinese (Italy) and Vračević (Serbia) by Harzhauser & Binder (2004), Harzhauser et al (2014aHarzhauser et al ( , b, 2015 and Neubauer et al (2017) and for numerous Miocene localities in S Germany by Salvador (2014), Salvador & Rasser (2014 and Salvador et al (2015Salvador et al ( , b, c, 2017. Finally, biostratigraphical and paleoecological interpretations based on the present mollusc fauna are also of interest for vertebrate paleontologists because Nowa Wieś Królewska is an important locality for Miocene vertebrates (e.g.…”
