Sample P1, Clay pit, Wạwał village, 2 km east of Tomaszów (Cretaceous of Poland)

Where: Lodzkie, Poland (51.5° N, 20.1° E: paleocoordinates 43.1° N, 26.6° E)

• coordinate estimated from map

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Unit 10 Member, Valanginian (140.2 - 136.4 Ma)

• Late Valanginian; involutum / pertransiens zone

• group of beds-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: offshore; unlithified, black claystone

• Most of the gastropods studied in this monograph come from clayey facies of more or less open sea environments (Wawal: The faunal assemblage suggest shallow water conditions near the photic zone in the lower and upper parts of the section and a deeper water conditions in the middle part).

Size classes: mesofossils, microfossils

Preservation: original aragonite

Collection methods: bulk, sieve,

• Rock samples collected over the period 1995-2002; the material is housed at the Institute of Paleobiology, Polish Academy of Sciences (PAS) in Warsaw (abbreviated ZPAL) and the Museum of the Earth PAS in Warsaw (abbreviated MZ).
