•Palmatolepsis jamieae / lower Palmatolepsis rhenana 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.
