Also known as Neurode; Intrasudetic Basin

Where: Lower Silesia, Poland (50.6° N, 16.5° E: paleocoordinates 4.9° N, 23.1° E)

• coordinate estimated from map

• small collection-level geographic resolution

When: Ludwikowice Formation (Rotliegend Group), Kuzel (300.4 - 297.7 Ma)

• Dathe (1900, cited in Schroeder, 1905) gives the stratigraphic horizon as "unterste Stufe der Unteren Kuseler Schichten, nämlich die der rotbraunen Sandsteine und Konglomerate mit Porphyrgeröllen" ["lowermost Lower Kusel Beds, namely the reddish brown sandstones and conglomerates with porphyry pebbles"] and says that it represents the "älteste und tiefste Rotliegend Stufe" ["oldest and lowermost Rotliegend"].

•These beds are mentioned as "reddish brown sandstones and conglomerates with porphyry pebbles" by Dathe (1904, Erläuterungen zur Geologischen Karte von Preußen und benachbarten Bundesstaaten, Blatt Neurode) and as "Plate Sandstone" by Jerzykiewicz (1987, Palynology 11) and are said/figured to underlie the beds called "Anthracosia shale". The latter unit is assigned to the Krajanów Formation of modern nomenclature. So it appears that Dathe's "reddish brown sandstones and conglomerates with porphyry pebbles" correspond to the Ludwikowice Formation that is overlain by the Krajanów Formation in the Intrasudetic Basin (see Kurowski, 1998, GeoLines (Prague) 6).

•"According to Schroeder (1904), the specimen was excavated from the lowermost unit of the Untere Kuseler Schichten (Lower Kusel beds), Lower Rotliegend (Lower Autunian) as part of the Intra‐Sudetic Basin, Poland. It was correlated to the lowermost Permian by Huene (1956) and recently recalibrated to the Late Carboniferous Ludwikowice Formation (Niedźwiedzki & Bojanowski, 2012). Its probable age is Stephanian C, respectively Gzhelian (Nowak, 1998; Awdankiewicz et al., 2003; Schneider & Werneburg, 2012; Schneider et al., 2014)." (Spindler, 2015)
