West Quarry, Mokra, Czech Rep., collection M6 (Devonian of Czech Republic)

Where: Moravia, Czech Republic (49.2° N, 16.8° E: paleocoordinates 18.8° S, 26.6° E)

• coordinate based on political unit

• small collection-level geographic resolution

When: Palmatolepis crepida zone, Vilemovice Limestone Formation, Early/Lower Famennian (376.1 - 370.6 Ma)

• bed-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: reef, buildup or bioherm; lithified wackestone and packstone

• light colored coral-stromatoporoid wackestone to packstone, with large coralla of Syringopora sp., small nodular or tabular coenostea of Stromatopora sp., and with stems of Amphipora moravica. Microfossils are represented by radiolarians and ostracodes. Fragements of thin-shelled brachiopods, crinoid ossicles, porifera spicules, are common amongst the small-size debris. Accumulations of porifera spicules - mostly monaxons - were locally important.
