Templom-hegy, Villány (Szarsomlyo Limestone) (Jurassic of Hungary)

Where: Hungary (45.9° N, 18.5° E: paleocoordinates 29.0° N, 25.4° E)

• coordinate based on nearby landmark

• small collection-level geographic resolution

When: Lacunosella arolica brachiopod zone, Szarsomlyo Limestone Formation, Middle Oxfordian (161.2 - 155.7 Ma)

• bed-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: deep subtidal; lithified, sandy wackestone and lithified, oncoidal mudstone

• The Alagu´t Bed was deposited in a sublittoral environment,

•probably somewhat deeper than the subjacent Alta´ro´

•Bed

• The rock is an almost pure limestone; the insoluble

•residue is less than 5% rock volume; the amount of terrigenous

•siliciclastics is negligible (0.3%). It is a biomicrite

•to biopelmicrite with wackestone to mudstone texture. The

•major biogenic components are foraminifers and subordinate

•molluscan, brachiopod, and echinoderm fragments

Size class: macrofossils
