Loc. 4.4, Smoking Quarry Trench, Kozolupy, bed 2 (Silurian of Czech Republic)

Where: Czech Republic (50.0° N, 14.2° E: paleocoordinates 54.3° S, 59.5° E)

• coordinate based on nearby landmark

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Motol Formation, Homerian (430.5 - 427.4 Ma)

• "The fauna indicates an uppermost Wenlock age."

• group of beds-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: marine; shelly/skeletal, gray limestone

• "The oldest rocks exposed in the trench were brown tuffites, several metres thick. They are overlain by almost 1 m of light rusty brown to grey bioclastic, crinoidal limestone (no. 2) with [list]. Havlicek and Storch (1990) defined the assemblage as the Septatrypa lissodermis-Cyrtia maior Comm. It can be interpreted as BA 3."
