Stratigraphy
Formation:Wapnica Member:Main Limestone
Stratigraphic resolution:group of beds
Stratigraphy comments: PJW: Given as "Main Limestone" but that name is used for many other formations. It used to be called "Hauptkalk", which means (wait for it...) "Main Chalk" or "Main Limestone" and thus certainly has been used elsewhere, too. Although Berkowski (2002) was uncommitted, other works make this the first member of the Wapnica Formation
