Where: Romania (45.5° N, 23.2° E: paleocoordinates 37.5° N, 30.2° E)
• coordinate stated in text
• local area-level geographic resolution
When: Kimmeridgian to Kimmeridgian (157.3 - 145.0 Ma)
Environment/lithology: platform or shelf-margin reef; grainstone and rudstone
•Angular and sub-angular shapes and poor sorting of the main components; allochthonous bioclasts (skeletal reef debris), biogenic encrustations, diversified microencruster consortium; several generations of early marine cements (isopachus and radiaxialfibrous), borings and fissures, cavities filled with granular cement types (mainly drusy), irregular anastomosing fissures, and precipitated ferrous oxyhydroxides are often present. This microfacies is strongly affected by compaction processes and fractures creating a more or less brecciated appearance
Size classes: macrofossils, mesofossils
