Where: Croatia (43.7° N, 16.6° E: paleocoordinates 43.1° N, 16.1° E)
• coordinate estimated from map
• outcrop-level geographic resolution

Environment/lithology: lacustrine - large; poorly lithified limestone
Size classes: macrofossils, mesofossils
Preservation: original aragonite
Reposited in the NHMW
