Loc. 5.6, Marble Quarry, sect. 357, Pozary (Pridoli) (beds 12-25) (Silurian of Czech Republic)

Where: Czech Republic (50.0° N, 14.3° E: paleocoordinates 48.9° S, 55.4° E)

• coordinate based on political unit

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Pozary Formation, Pridoli (423.0 - 419.2 Ma)

• Ludlow-Pridoli boundary as well as middle and upper Pridoli are included.

• group of beds-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: marine; shelly/skeletal, gray lime mudstone and gray, calcareous shale

• "The boundary with the Pozary Formation is sharp. the Pozary is developed as dark grey biomicritic to micritic limestones and laminates alternating with brownish-grey to dark-grey calcareous shales. [Bed 12 has M. parultimus, therefore is start of Pridoli]. The section continues...as a sequence of laminites in the middle and upper Pridoli."
