Where: Poland (50.8° N, 20.7° E: paleocoordinates 17.7° N, 28.9° E)

• coordinate based on nearby landmark

• small collection-level geographic resolution

When: Grey Pelite Formation (Leine Group), Wuchiapingian to Wuchiapingian (259.0 - 252.3 Ma)

• The following lithological complexes are currently distinguished within the Zechstein on the so-called "near" Permian-Mesozoic edge of the Holy Cross Paleozoic core: Zechstein Limestone (Ca1) locally underlaying by the Copper-Bearing Shale (in German Kupfer schiefer; T1), Lower Anhydrite (Ald) in some sections, Terrigenious Series (T1r) and Upper Anhydrite (A1g) which all form the Werra Cycle (PZ1); the Strassfort Cycle (PZ2) is developed as the Terrigenous Series (T2r), the Grey Pelite (T3), Platy Dolomite (Ca3) and only locally Main Anhydrite (A3) represents the Leine Cycle (PZ3). The uppermost Zechstein deposits consist of the Top Terrigenous Series (Pzt).

• group of beds-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: marine; gray, calcareous mudstone and gray, calcareous mudstone

• in text: These are grey, strongly calcareous mudstones and siltstones 0.6-7.5 m thick. In the west part of the investigated area the base of this series is composed of grey, fine sandstones and sandy mudstones which become more conglomeratic closed to the Paleozoic base. It creates an important correlation horizont.

•in log: sandstones, mudstones and pelites

Size class: microfossils

Preservation: original sporopollenin

Collection methods: core, chemical, mechanical,
