Where: Poland (50.5° N, 20.5° E)
• Paleocoordinates: 47.7° N, 21.9° E (Wright 2013)
• coordinate estimated from map
When: Pinczow Formation, Badenian (13.7 - 12.7 Ma)
• Middle Miocene (Badenian)
• formation-level stratigraphic resolution
Environment/lithology: marine; lithified limestone
• The densilty of sampling was higher where
•limestones with in-plance algal accumulations occur but lower in purely orgainodetrital limestones. Because of the poor expasure the samples were frequently taken from the weathering zone.
• composed of large, mainly sphaeroidal rhodoliths,the internal structure of which shows typically three growth stages: branching nucleus, laminar stage, and columnar stage.
Size classes: macrofossils, mesofossils
