Rosenberg quarry, reef facies, coral buildup CB2 (Miocene of Austria)

Where: Austria (46.7° N, 15.6° E: paleocoordinates 46.1° N, 15.1° E)

• coordinate estimated from map

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Langhian (16.0 - 13.8 Ma)

Environment/lithology: reef, buildup or bioherm; reef rocks

• CB2 is 9 m high and exposed for 40 m length. Intercalated tuffite layers, which dip toward the buildup's margins and trace their outer shape. Typically they are discontinuous in the center of the buildups. Rarely, isolated reddish-brown weathered pyroclasts up to 3 cm long

Size classes: macrofossils, mesofossils
