Lithology and environment
Primary lithology:shelly/skeletal,gray "limestone"
Includes fossils?Y
Lithology description: "...light grey crinoidal limestones predominate..."

Geology comments: "Trilobite remains are still more fragmented and a shallow subtidal zone of higher energy BA 3 may be assumed."
Taphonomy
Collection methods and comments
Collection excludes:some macrofossils
Reason for describing collection:paleoecologic analysis
Collection method comments: Similar to PBDB collection 14111 (P. archiaci-Atrypoidea modesta Comm. of Havlicek and Storch 1999), but not identical.
Taxonomic list comments:Only trilobites are listed to genus level, but many other groups reported present. Also, not all trilobites listed (see Snajdr 1985 for possible additional encrinurines).
