Where: Slovakia (49.1° N, 18.3° E: paleocoordinates 40.8° N, 25.5° E)

• coordinate stated in text

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Gregoryceras transversarium ammonoid zone, Bohunice Formation, Middle Oxfordian (161.2 - 155.7 Ma)

• Crustacean remains were collected from the middle part of the quarry, from the white to yellowish ammonite shell bed. The associated fauna is sparse; recorded are brachiopods, bivalves and crinoids. Based on ammonites such as Perisphinctes (Dichotomosphinctes) elisabethae de Riaz, 1898 the age of these deposits is Middle Oxfordian, more precisely the Transversarium Zone.

• bed-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: lithified, shelly/skeletal, white, yellow limestone

Size class: macrofossils

Collection methods: Repository: Natural History Museum, Slovak National Museum, Bratislava, Slovakia (SMN-Z)
