Q2. What are the frequent pieces of benthic organisms?
The most frequent pieces of benthic organisms are issued from thin-shelled and less than 500-μm-long ostracods, echinoids (crinoids), trilobites, brachiopods and, to a lesser extent, gastropods, bivalves, silicified foraminifers, sponges and possibly microbes.
Q3. Why do blind trilobites have a nodular aspect?
Beds can display a nodular aspect because of important post-depositional pressure-dissolution processes (stylolithes, pseudonodular texture).
Q4. What is the name of the lower marginifera zone?
The Lower marginifera Zone starts 23 m above the base of the section and is recognized by the presence of the marker Pa. marginifera marginifera in sample CT44.
Q5. What is the significance of the assemblages of conodonts?
Autochtony of conodont assemblages is indicated by the rather high percentage of juveniles as well as ramiform elements among the conodont assemblages; additionally, conodonts are well preserved.
Q6. How many different weight of rocks have been analysed?
Very different weight of rocks have been analysed in order to obtain a total close to 100 platform elements for each level, allowing for a reliable estimation of relative abundances.
Q7. What is the significance of the co-occurrence of these twogeneras?
A co-occurrence of these twogenera has been observed in association with the annulata black shale deposits in Poland (Kowala section), and was interpreted as a position of the section close to pelagic ridge (Racka et al. 2010).
Q8. What is the composition of cephalopod mudstone to wackestone?
F3: Cephalopod mudstone to wackestone (typical griotte limestones)Facies F3 is composed of reddish, massive nodular or wavey laminated mudstones to wackestones (Fig. 4a, b).
Q9. What is the occurrence of Pa. gracilis expansa in the lower crepid?
The occurrence of Pa. gracilis expansa in sample CT63 marks the base of the Lower expansa Zone, whereas the entry of Bispathodus spinulicostatus in sample CT65 allows this level to be referred to the Middle expansa Zone.
Q10. What is the meaning of the term annulata?
The annulata event is not associated with extinction of faunas but rather with originations (House, 1985; Becker, 1993; Hartenfels, 2010).
