(1972) | Orlej Limestone | Gromczakiewicz-Lomnicka: "The area of Orlej was transitional between the zone of the Carboniferous Limestone and the zone of Culm"; "150 m of Carboniferous beds" Olempka: “The age of these beds was determined on brachiopod evidence as Late Visean by Czarniecki (1955, 1956). Conodonts from the limestone intercalations indicate the Gnathodus girtyi collinsoni Zone, which corresponds in age to the Visean/Namurian boundary (Belka 1982).” Probably P2 (late Brigantian) given Olempska's d | "shale" | 336 - 326.4 Ma Carboniferous |
