Soltyków (lower) (Jurassic of Poland)

Also known as Odrowaz, Soltykow

Where: Swietokrzyskie, Poland (51.1° N, 20.7° E: paleocoordinates 43.2° N, 18.9° E)

• coordinate based on nearby landmark

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Zagaje Formation, Early/Lower Hettangian (201.3 - 196.5 Ma)

• "Zagaje Series"

• bed-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: crevasse splay; paleosol/pedogenic, fine-grained, ferruginous, quartzose, sideritic wackestone

• "fluvial plain deposits"; "flood plain (lacustrine) muds with palaeosols and crevasse splays associated with small-scale fan deltas, levee deposits and channel deposits...[the track layer] represents a distal crevasse splay/lacustrine fan delta environment, situated on a floodplain of a meandering river, covered with a low-rise, dense vegetation."
• "The bed is built of poorly sorted, fine-grained quartz wacke, cemented by ferruginous minerals (primary siderite replaced by iron hydroxides) and silica. Siderite spherulites, up to 1 mm in diameter, are very frequent, marking (along with abundant plant roots) a pedogenic horizon within this bed (PI. I, Fig. 2). The bed reveals parallel lamination and sometimes inconspicuous trough cross bedding, or is structureless."

Size class: macrofossils

Preservation: cast, trace
