Skryje (Cambrian of Czech Republic)

Also known as Skryje Shale; Shale, page 33

Where: Central Boemian, Czech Republic (50.0° N, 13.8° E: paleocoordinates 42.4° S, 105.8° E)

• coordinate estimated from map

• small collection-level geographic resolution

When: Skryje Shale Formation, Middle Cambrian (509.0 - 497.0 Ma)

• formation-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: offshore shelf; poorly lithified, green, argillaceous, silty shale

• The "bimodal" mixture of sand and shale may indicate proximity to shoreline, in which case this may be too shallow for inclusion, but presence of silt and confinement of clastics to distinct layers argues against this; "deeper water environment affected by ... fluxoturbidites"
• Greenish clayey shale bearing a silty and sandy admixture in some layers

Size classes: macrofossils, mesofossils, microfossils
