Bakonyszücs Borehole Bsz-3, sample 3 (Triassic of Hungary)

Where: Hungary (47.3° N, 17.7° E: paleocoordinates 0.6° N, 30.1° E)

• coordinate based on nearby landmark

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Lower Member (Csopak Formation), Spathian (251.3 - 247.2 Ma)

• The Csopak Marl at the Hidegkut outcrop locality contains Spathian ammonoids (Tirolites, Dalmatites) throughout the section. Although the borehole samples do not have those biostratigraphic markers, a Spathian age is assigned.

• group of beds-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: lagoonal or restricted shallow subtidal; bioturbated, fine-grained, gray, calcareous marl and silty marl

• lagoonal, pertidal dolomite complex
• The prevailing rock type is calcareous marl, with alternations of argillaceous darker and lighter layers, both layers with some bioclastic limestone intercalations

Size class: microfossils

Collection methods: bulk,
