Also known as Reef 732; Korytnica

Where: Holy Cross Mountains, Poland (50.7° N, 20.5° E: paleocoordinates 51.0° N, 19.3° E)

• coordinate based on nearby landmark

• small collection-level geographic resolution

When: NN5 nannofossil zone, Korytnica Clays Formation, Badenian (13.7 - 12.7 Ma)

• Badenian, Korytnica Clays (upper part of NN5 and lower part of NN6 nannoplancton zones). However, "Recently, RooL & BRANDSTATmR (1993) objected MARTINI'S documentation of the Zone NN6 in the Korytnica sequence and concluded, from the ranges of large foraminifers of the genus Amphistegina, upon an early Badenian age of the Korytnica Clays, precisely the Lower Lagenidae Zone within the foraminifer-based subdivision of the Miocene Stage in the Central Paratethys." (Baluk 1995)
