Where: Czech Republic (50.0° N, 12.9° E: paleocoordinates 56.9° S, 60.4° E)

• coordinate based on nearby landmark

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Motol Formation, Sheinwoodian (433.4 - 430.5 Ma)

• "The limestones have yielded the index graptolites of the C. murchisoni Biozone...Overlying beds [contain] limestones of the C. perneri/C.ramosus Biozone." Thus, section spans much of Sheinwoodian.

• group of beds-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: marine; limestone and volcaniclastic shale
