Fonsjoch (Lange coll) (Jurassic of Austria)

Where: Austria (47.5° N, 11.7° E: paleocoordinates 33.1° N, 16.6° E)

• coordinate based on nearby landmark

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Psiloceras calliphyllum ammonoid zone, Planorbis (201.3 - 196.5 Ma)

• Assignment to Calliphyllum Zone is based on the matrix of the specimens.

• group of beds-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: lithified, brown limestone

• The matrix is not homogeneous. In some specimens the matrix is a light brown, fine-grained limestone without glauconite grains, but in more specimens the generally brown limestone is variegated by grey and red patches and contains dark green glauconite grains and pelecypods.

Size class: macrofossils
