Falcona Alta,Coral-stromatoporoid boundstone micofacies (Devonian of Spain)

Also known as Reef 4236

Where: Spain (36.8° N, 4.5° W: paleocoordinates 36.1° S, 14.5° E)

• coordinate estimated from map

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Frasnian (382.7 - 372.2 Ma)

Environment/lithology: reef, buildup or bioherm; bafflestone and grainstone

• Mainly bafflestones with clotted microbial grainstone to packstone matrix; reef builders are ramiform thamnoporid corals and twig-like stromatoporoids both with frequent microborings that are usually coated with thin dark microbial crusts, sometimes with characteristic,

•small irregular (microstromatolitic) protuberances

Size class: macrofossils
