Abstract

The five zonal divisions (conodont, foraminiferal, tabulate coral, rugose coral, and stromatoporoid) are correlated in the Lower Famennian Vilémovice Limestones (Macocha Formation). The age of the reefoid limestones corresponds to the upper part of the Palmatolepis crepida Zone. Stromatoporoid and foraminiferal fauna do not differ substantially from the Upper Frasnian association in the bottom, some differences were observed in the tabulate corals, while the rugose corals show pronounced changes.
