Trench Z.pal-1, Debnik Anticline, Cracow Region (Devonian of Poland)

Where: Poland (50.2° N, 19.7° E: paleocoordinates 16.9° S, 27.7° E)

• coordinate estimated from map

• small collection-level geographic resolution

When: Early/Lower Famennian (376.1 - 370.6 Ma)

• Standard Conodont Zone: middle Palmatolepis rhomboidea zone; Local Brachiopod Zones & Intervals (this paper): Cavatisinurostrum longilinguis interval; lower part of the Grained and Micritic Limestone unit

• group of beds-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: open shallow subtidal; lithified, peloidal, gray wackestone

• deposited under stagnant, poorly oxygenated bottom conditions well below wave base; probable maximum of Famennian transgression
• medium-bedded, gray bio pelmicrites

Size classes: macrofossils, mesofossils

Collection methods: bulk,
