Kostanjek-1 Lithofacies D, Biofacies 3 (Panonnian) Zagreb Croatia (Miocene of Croatia)

Where: Croatia (44.9° N, 16.1° E: paleocoordinates 44.6° N, 15.8° E)

• coordinate estimated from map

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Late/Upper Miocene (11.6 - 5.3 Ma)

• within 83m thick exposure within the Panonnian stage -completing the succession overlying gravel of the lithofacies C

• group of beds-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: lacustrine; lithified, bioturbated marl and lithified claystone

• The marls and clay were deposited slowly from suspension in the deeper more distal parts of the lake. Primary sedimentary structures are poorly preserved due to increased destructive activity of a benthic infauna.

• This lithofacies is distinguished by the compactness of the marl layers which are more strongly bioturbated and rarely contain cm-thick clay layers. The carbonate content is constant (~65%).

Size class: macrofossils

Collection methods: bulk,

• collected using the method "directed dotted sample"
