• coordinate estimated from map
When: Pinczow Formation, Badenian (13.7 - 12.7 Ma)
• Middle Miocene (Badenian)
• formation-level stratigraphic resolution
Environment/lithology: marine; lithified limestone
•the southern slopes of the Swie$okrzyskie Mts. and Lublin Upland, and from the northern Carpathian border. The densilty of sampling was higher where
•limestones with in-plance algal accumulations occur but lower in purely orgainodetrital limestones. Because of the poor expasure the samples were frequently taken from the weathering zone.
•and sandy deposits. Composed of large, mainly sphaeroidal rhodoliths,the internal structure of which shows typically three growth stages: branching nucleus, laminar stage, and columnar stage.
Size classes: macrofossils, mesofossils
