Golo Burdo Mt, Bulgaria (1) (Triassic of Bulgaria)

Where: Bulgaria (42.6° N, 23.0° E: paleocoordinates 2.8° S, 29.2° E)

• coordinate based on nearby landmark

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Radomir Formation, Ladinian (242.0 - 237.0 Ma)

• Ladian brachiopod assemblages are geographically restricted and isolated from one another, which makes biostratigraphic correlation difficult. Within the Costispiriferina bittneri - Lima cf inaequistriata Assemblage Zone

• group of beds-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: shallow subtidal; limestone

• Alternating limestone and argillites

Size class: macrofossils
