Babica, Middle Carpathians (Paleocene of Poland)

Also known as KT loc. 435

Where: Poland (49.9° N, 21.9° E: paleocoordinates 39.4° N, 20.2° E)

• coordinate based on nearby landmark

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Babica Clays Member (Babica Beds Formation), Thanetian (59.2 - 56.0 Ma)

• Dated by Szechura, J., and Pozaryska, K. (1974). “Foraminiferida from the Paleocene of Polish carpathians (Babica Clays).” Palaeontologica Polonica, 31, 1-142. as upper Paleocene

• member-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: shallow subtidal; poorly lithified claystone and poorly lithified sandstone

• The Babica Clays (50 m thick) exhibit great faciesl varaibility. They consist of loose sands, sandstones, conglomerates, shales, sometimes marls and the so-called Babica Clays with exotics. The latter form several lenses up to 10 m thick in the upper part of the Babica Beds.

•Deposition in shallow water and transported into flysch basin by mud flows

Size class: macrofossils

Collection methods: mechanical,

• Corals and bivalves associated but not described
