Czatkowice 1 quarry (Triassic of Poland)

Where: Malopolskie, Poland (50.1° N, 19.6° E: paleocoordinates 17.8° N, 26.3° E)

• coordinate based on nearby landmark

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Olenekian (251.2 - 247.2 Ma)

• earliest Late Olenekian (Yarenskian) on the basis of tetrapod (temnospondyl) biostratigraphy (Shishkin and Sulej 2009)

Environment/lithology: fissure fill; fine-grained, yellow, sandy limestone and limestone

• single karst fissure; arid environment with sparse vegetation and occasional pools with aquatic communities

• "fine grained sandy yellow limestone with some calcite cement [with] bones, occasional clasts, and concretions. A few samples show evidence of sedimentary bedding and parallel orientation of the bones, but this is not generally the case."

• bone breccia within a Carboniferous limestone

Size classes: macrofossils, mesofossils

Collected in 1978
