Stratigraphy
Stratigraphy comments: Bobrov Regional Stage, Pridolian
Lithology and environment
Primary lithology: "limestone"
Includes fossils?Y
Lithology description: "Occurs on a siltstone (limestone and micrite) substrate as massive colonies aggregated into biostromes. Subcylindrical and columnal coeonstea occur betw. massive ones."
Environment:reef, buildup or bioherm
Geology comments: "The unit is intimately associated laterally with, and perhaps partly in a vertical direction, with the Atrypoidea prunum gigas Comm., and is considered to be a quiet water, BA 2 unit."
Taphonomy
Collection methods and comments
Reason for describing collection:paleoecologic analysis
Taxonomic list comments:The stromatoporoid-dominated communities are often associated with other faunal elements, but the lists given emphasize the dominant stromatoporoids.
