Warburgella Community, Prague Basin (Devonian of Czech Republic)

Where: Czech Republic (49.9° N, 14.2° E)

• Paleocoordinates: 18.0° S, 7.1° E (Wright 2013)

• coordinate based on nearby landmark

• local area-level geographic resolution

When: Monograptus uniformis zone, Lochkow Formation, Lochkovian (419.2 - 410.8 Ma)

• Lochkovian, usually including the lower quarter of the Lochkov sequence; M. uniformis Zone. Both Kotys and Radotin Members.

• formation-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: marine; gray grainstone and argillaceous lime mudstone

• "...Assemblage falls in BA 3 in the Kotys Lst and probably in BA 4 for the Radotin Lst."
• "The Lochkov Formation consists of two basic lithofacies corresponding to the Kotys Member (light gray, thicker bedded, sparitic limestones) and the Radotin Member (dark, bituminous, platy biomicrites to biosparites with shale interbeds..." Trilobite components said to occur in both lithotypes; other elements may be more facies-dependent, but information not given that would allow them to be separated.

Collection methods: NB: Trilobites of this Community were already entered in PBDB Collection 10281.
