Where: Germany (51.4° N, 7.9° E: paleocoordinates 19.6° S, 6.7° E)

• coordinate estimated from map

When: Eisborn Member (Hagen-Balve Formation), Frasnian (382.7 - 372.2 Ma)

• penetrated the upper part of the Asbeck Member, its overlying (hemi)pelagic sediments conatin the Kellwasser level; coarse debris interval is correlated with the Eisborn Member and overlain by limestones of the Beul Formation and after non-deposition by Viséan cherts

Environment/lithology: reef, buildup or bioherm; rudstone

• more open environment, from the reef core to the outer reef edge
• Crinoidal stromatoporoid-coral rudstone; medium grey, fossiliferous limestones;

•examples: bed -25

Size classes: macrofossils, mesofossils, microfossils

Collection methods: core
