• coordinate based on nearby landmark

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Upper Sitkówka Beds Member (Kowala Formation), Late/Upper Frasnian (379.5 - 376.1 Ma)

•uupper Palmatolepsis rhenana / Palmatolepsis linguiformis zones

• group of beds-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: reef, buildup or bioherm; lithified, shelly/skeletal packstone

• ENVIRONMENT: detrital facies, in otherwise bank to reef facies, adjoining detrital and coral-rich buildups. TECTONIC SETTING: No tectonic data reported. SEQUENCE STRATIGRAPHY: From near bottom of F-II T-R cycle of Racki (1997), interpretated by enterer to be the transgressive portion.
• SPECIFIC LITHOLOGY: Grainstones and packstones. GENERAL LITHOLOGY: Biolithites and organodetrital limestones. Detailed lithological data reported by Racki (1993). LITHIFICATION: lithified, based on observation of figured specimens.

Size class: macrofossils
