Szentantalfa, Tagyon Limestone, Balaton Highland (Triassic of Hungary)

Also known as Reef 146

Where: Hungary (46.9° N, 17.7° E: paleocoordinates 1.4° N, 29.2° E)

• coordinate based on nearby landmark

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Anisian (247.2 - 242.0 Ma)

• Late Anisian

• group of beds-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: reef, buildup or bioherm; lithified limestone

• "Based on the sporadic sponge and coral remains it can be presumed, that small bioherms (patch reefs) surrounded the platform lagoon separating it from the open shelf basin."
• oncosparite, stromatolite, biomicrite, biosparite and pelbiosparite

Size classes: macrofossils, mesofossils, microfossils

Collection methods: peel or thin section,
