Loc. 2.5, Zak Quarry, Velka Chuchle (Silurian of Czech Republic)
Where: Czech Republic (50.1° N, 14.5° E: paleocoordinates 46.8° S, 54.0° E)
• coordinate based on nearby landmark
• outcrop-level geographic resolution
When: Pozary Formation, Pridoli (418.7 - 416.0 Ma)
• Range from Monograptus lochkovensis to M. transgrediens zones; middle and upper Pozary Fm.
• formation-level stratigraphic resolution
Environment/lithology: marine; lime mudstone and calcareous shale
• "...developed in facies of dark micritic limestone layers, lenses and nodules alternating with dark to light brown calcareous shales...The environment...may be interpreted as soft bottom below wave base with low current activity. Brachiopods are very rare and no trilobites are present. Bottom sediment was unfavorable for deposit feeders..."
