Eighteen ichnospecies (two new) referred to 17 ichnogenera (one new) as well as formally unclassified equilibrichnia, fugichnia and faecal pellets constitute a diverse and well-preserved invertebrate trace fossil suite present in storm deposits within the Franciszka X marine horizon of the Hrušov Beds (Late Carboniferous Namurian A, Pendleian) as exposed in the Kozłowa Góra quarry, Upper Silesia, Poland. The new forms are Fimbritubichnus biserialis igen. et isp. n., which is interpreted as the work of a deposit-feeding bellerophont gastropod, and Cylindrichnus candelabrus isp. n. An emended diagnosis of the ichnospecies Parahaentzschelinia ardelia is given. Presence of the trace fossils marks a marine influence, so that they can be utilized to discern marine versus nonmarine deposition within the Paralic Series of the Upper Silesia Coal Basin in which other paleontological evidence is scanty or lacking.

W pracy opisano zróżnicowany i stosunkowo dobrze zachowany zespół śladów działalności życiowej rozmaitych bezkręgowców morskich zachowanych w sztormowych osadach późnego karbonu (Namur A, horyzont Franciszka X, warstwy gruszowskie) w odsłonięciu Kozłowa Góra na obszarze Górnośląskiego Zagłębia Węglowego. Zidentyfikowano 18 ichnogatunków (w tym dwa nowe) należących do 17 ichnorodzajów, ponadto rozpoznano niesklasyfikowane formalnie ślady równowagi (equilibrichnia), ślady ucieczki (fugichnia) oruz grudki fekalne. Opisano dwa nowe ichnogatunki: Cylindrichnus candelabrus isp. n. oraz Fimbritubichnus biserialis igen. et isp. n., ten ostatni interpretowany jako ślad jakiegoś osadożernego ślimaka bellerofontowego. Zaproponowano korektę diagnozy Parahaentzschelinia ardelia. Zespoły śladów działalności morskich bezkręgowców mogą być użytecznym narzędziem dla rozpoznawania morskich ingresji w osadach górnego karbonu Górnośląskiego Zagłębia Węglowego.
