Trilobite assem. 1 of the Lochkovian(Barrandian Cze) Warburgella Assembl (Devonian of Czech Republic)

Where: Czech Republic (49.9° N, 14.2° E: paleocoordinates 45.0° S, 52.5° E)

When: Monograptus uniformis zone, Radotin Limestone & Kotys Limestone Member (Lochkov Formation), Lochkovian (419.2 - 410.8 Ma)

• "This assemblage occurs in both facies of the Lochkovian in the Barrandian - the Kotys Limestone and the Radotin Limestone."

• formation-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: deep subtidal shelf; gray wackestone and shelly/skeletal, argillaceous grainstone

• ""Owing to a lesser dependence on the lithology of sediments and wide geographical distribution, the Warburgella rugulosa groups may be reguarded as tolerant to different environments within the carbonate shelf facies."" Kotys Limestone is Boucot's Benthic Assemblage 3, Radotin Limestone is Assemblage 4.
• Kotys Limestone - light grey thicker bedded sparitic limestones and the Radotin Limestone - dark bituminous platy biomicrites to biosparites with shale intercalations.
