Kowala Fm - Set B3, Panek section (Devonian of Poland)

Also known as Loxoplocus (Donaldiella) karczewskii assemblage

Where: Poland (50.9° N, 20.6° E: paleocoordinates 18.7° S, 31.3° E)

• coordinate based on nearby landmark

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

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

• STRATIGRAPHIC RELATIONS: THICKNESS: From the Kowala Formation, higher in region section than PBDB coll.# 62176. AGE: Late Frasnian according to Fig. 2 of Krawczynski (2002). STRATIGRAPHIC POSITION: From set B3, near the top of the Panek section.

• bed-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: lagoonal or restricted shallow subtidal; lithified, shelly/skeletal wackestone

• ENVIRONMENT: lagoonal gastropod assemblage, 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: Mudstones and wackestones. GENERAL LITHOLOGY: Organodetrital limestones and marly shales. Detailed lithological data reported by Racki (1993). LITHIFICATION: lithified, based on observation of figured specimens.

Size class: macrofossils

Preservation: cast, mold/impression

Collection methods: COLLECTOR: W. Krawczynski (1995-2000), Racki (1976-1994), Gürich (1896). REPOSITORY: ZPAL (Polish Akademy of Science, Warsaw), MGUWr (Geological Museum of the Institute of Geological Sciences of Wroclaw University), GIUS (Faculty of Earth Sciences of Silesian University, Sosnoweic.
