Where: Poland (50.3° N, 19.0° E: paleocoordinates 0.9° N, 22.3° E)

• coordinate estimated from map

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Yeadonian (320.0 - 318.7 Ma)

• Found between the Heintzmann-Flötze and the Sattel-Flötze, 9.2 m above the Sattel-Flötze and 30 m higher than the marine band. Based on the stratigraphy of the Upper Silesian Coal Basin in Parzentny (2020), there is only one marine band marked - the Gaebler marine horizon. Probierz & Marcisz (2015) note a unit called the "Saddle Beds" above the Gaebler marine horizon, suggesting that this collection is from the Ruda Beds of Namurian C age.

Environment/lithology: fluvial-lacustrine; lithified shale
