Where: Upper Silesia, Poland (50.6° N, 18.1° E: paleocoordinates 18.4° N, 23.8° E)

When: Muschelkalk Formation, Anisian (247.2 - 242.0 Ma)

• The calcareous algae are associated with the following benthic foraminifera: Endotriadella wirzi, Earlandinita elongata, Endotebanella sp., Meandrospira deformata, Meandrospira dinarica, Pilammina densa,Trochammina cf. alpina,Tolypammina sp., and Diplotremina astrofimbriata. The foraminiferal assemblage, along with frequent Diplopora annulatissima, indicates a late Anisian (Illyrian) age.

Environment/lithology: reef, buildup or bioherm; limestone

Size classes: mesofossils, microfossils

Preservation: original calcite
