Where: Ukraine (48.9° N, 25.6° E)
• Paleocoordinates: 3.9° N, 27.2° W (Wright 2013)
When: Ustechko Member (Dniester Formation), Lochkovian (419.2 - 410.8 Ma)
Environment/lithology: terrestrial; lithified sandstone
•and mudstone. Desiccation fissures and ripple marks are common (Paris and Grahn 1996). The thickness of
•the Dniester Formation increases from none in the NE to 1135 m in the Carpathian Foredeep (Fig. 2). Its sub−
•division into members (corresponding to local “stages”) is based on differences in proportions of particular
•rock types. Only the first four among the ten stages, the Ustechko (53 m), Khmeleva (150 m), Strypa (170 m),
•and Smerkliv (72 m) ones, are represented by deposits exposed in Podolia. Others are known only from bore−
•holes near the Trans−European Suture Zone (Drygant 2000, 2010).
