Where: Ukraine (49.0° N, 25.8° E: paleocoordinates 19.2° S, 6.7° E)
• coordinate based on nearby landmark
• local area-level geographic resolution
When: Varnytsya Member (Skala Formation), Ludfordian to Ludfordian (425.6 - 419.2 Ma)
• From correlation chart in this paper; PJW: Was Rashkov Beds, but Skompski, Luczyjski, Drygant & Kozlowski (2008: Facies 54:277–296) make it the Varnytsya member of the Skala formation. More recent papers raise Varnytsya to formation status. Skompski et al. note that the Ludford-Pridoli boundary is approximately 20 m above the base (appx. 40 m below top) of member/formation.
• member-level stratigraphic resolution
Environment/lithology: marine; argillaceous limestone and marl
Size class: macrofossils
