WC159 locality, Gory Neveb Fm, Nevebskaya Subzone (Jurassic to of Russian Federation)

Where: Russian Federation (44.2° N, 39.2° E: paleocoordinates 37.9° N, 44.6° E)

• coordinate stated in text

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Gory Neveb Formation, Oxfordian to Oxfordian (163.5 - 140.2 Ma)

• Nevebskaya Subzone

Environment/lithology: basinal (); breccia and marl

• The proximal slope deposits consist of massive limestone breccias and megabreccias within a brownish marl matrix. Th e poorly-sorted, chaotic breccias consist of lithoclasts exhibiting diff erent microfacies types and transported fossils. The major textural types present in the breccias are lithoclastic and lithobioclastic rudstones, boundstones with corals and sponges, bioclastic floatstones and grainstones. Some coral-sponge boundstones are typical front-reef facies and consist of coral and sponge fragments and lithoclasts, which are well cemented by early marine cements.

Size classes: macrofossils, mesofossils
