Hidegkut section, Bed 8 (Triassic of Hungary)

Where: Hungary (47.0° N, 17.8° E: paleocoordinates 0.3° N, 30.0° E)

• coordinate based on nearby landmark

• hand sample-level geographic resolution

When: Lower Member (Csopak Marl Formation), Spathian (251.3 - 247.2 Ma)

• Presence of Tirolites in the lowest beds of the section indicates a Spathian age.

• bed-level stratigraphic resolution
