Also known as Pinczow

Where: Poland (50.5° N, 20.5° E: paleocoordinates 50.9° N, 19.1° E)

• coordinate estimated from map

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: M4 zone, Pińczów Limestone Formation, Langhian (16.0 - 13.8 Ma)

• no formation or group listed, Badenian M4

•The Pińczów Formation has been assigned to the early–middle Badenian based on foraminiferal data [195, 196], and is constrained by the occurrence of Orbulina suturalis (first appearing at 15.1 Ma [20]) and its correlation with the Lagenidae benthic foraminiferal zone [197], which terminates at or near the Langhian-Serravallian boundary [198], i.e. 13.8 Ma [54]. (Marx & Fordyce, 2015)

Environment/lithology: open shallow subtidal; limestone

• strong to moderate water agitation, depth of 30-80m

Size class: macrofossils

Preservation: original phosphate
