Kotys Limestone of the Lochkov Fm, Lockovian (CZE) (Devonian of Czech Republic)

Where: Prague, Czech Republic (49.5° N, 14.3° E: paleocoordinates 45.3° S, 52.9° E)

When: Monograptus uniformis, Monograptus praehercynicus, Monograptus hercynicus, Nowakia bohemica, Paranowakia intermedia, Icriodus woschmidti woschmidti, Pedavis pesavis graptolite zone, Kotys Limestone Member (Lochkov Formation), Lochkovian (419.2 - 410.8 Ma)

• member-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: shallow subtidal; gray, cherty/siliceous limestone

• "well aerated shallow subtidal zone, Benthic Assemblage 3 of Boucot."
• "light-grey thick-bedded, predominantly sparitic limestone, locally with cherts...medium to coarse bioclastic, obviously without shale intercalations and with irregular (knobly) bedding planes."

Size classes: macrofossils, mesofossils

Collection methods: "The fauna shows a marked predominance of benthic forms: brachiopods and crinoids are the most important constituents, associated with less common trilobites, gastropods, bivavles, etc."
