Jazwica Quarry (Lgawa Hill), units P-R, Holy Cross Mountains (Devonian of Poland)

Where: Poland (50.8° N, 20.5° E: paleocoordinates 18.8° S, 31.3° E)

• coordinate based on nearby landmark

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Late/Upper Frasnian (379.5 - 376.1 Ma)

• Late Frasnian, Checiny-Zbrza (southern) intrashelf basin, P. rhenana and P. linguiformis zones

• group of beds-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: slope; lithified limestone

• deeper parts of the reef slopes, usually below storm wave base

• thin layers, up to 0.1 m thick, of irregularly banded or nodular, grey or reddish cherry-weathering marly limestones as a part of an interbedded shaly-carbonate sequence that also contains rare brachiopod bioclastic limestone intercalations and black chert beds

Size class: macrofossils

Collection methods: peel or thin section,

• brachiopods and corals reported to be present, but not listed
