Where: Malopolskie, Poland (50.1° N, 19.6° E: paleocoordinates 3.4° S, 20.8° E)

• coordinate based on nearby landmark

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Gnathodus girtyi collinsoni conodont zone, Orlej Limestone Formation, Brigantian (336.0 - 330.9 Ma)

• Gromczakiewicz-Lomnicka: "The area of Orlej was transitional between the zone of the Carboniferous Limestone and the zone of Culm"; "150 m of Carboniferous beds"

•

•Olempka: “The age of these beds was determined on brachiopod evidence as Late Visean by Czarniecki (1955, 1956). Conodonts from the limestone intercalations indicate the Gnathodus girtyi collinsoni Zone, which corresponds in age to the Visean/Namurian boundary (Belka 1982).”

•

•Probably P2 (late Brigantian) given Olempska's description

• group of beds-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: shallow subtidal; pyritic, black, muddy shale and dolomitic limestone

Size classes: macrofossils, mesofossils

Preservation: mold/impression, permineralized, replaced with pyrite

Collected by Stanislaw Czarniecki in 1954, 1955

• Specimens at Institute of Paleobiology of the Polish Academy of Sciences, Warsaw (ZPAL).
