Where: Świętokrzyskie Voivodeship, Poland (50.5° N, 20.5° E)
• Paleocoordinates: 47.7° N, 21.9° E (Wright 2013)
• coordinate estimated from map
When: Pinczow Formation, Langhian to Langhian (16.0 - 11.6 Ma)
Environment/lithology: shallow subtidal; limestone
•bedded, fme organodetrital deposits, which pass upwardly into coarse-grained organodetrital
•limestones (see PI. 1, Figs 1-2). Here and there, the rhodoliths are particularly common and theybuild the rhodolith pavement. The sequence is interrupted once (in the northern part) or twice (insouthern) by marly limestones with abundant bryozoans Ceiieporaria, and thus called the Lower and the Upper Celleporan Bed
Size classes: mesofossils, microfossils
