“…2. Lithologic units of the Upper Silurian-Lower Devonian strata on the southwestern margin of the East European Platform (after Drygant 2003Drygant , 2010Małkowski et al 2009). corals, bivalves, nautiloids, bryozoans, brachiopods, ostracods, trilobites, and crinoids, as well as conodonts, rare agnathan and fish microremains have been described from the Borshchiv deposits (Karatajãt −Talimaa 1978;Paris and Grahn 1996;Karatajãt−Talimaa and Märss 2004;Drygant 2010). The Chortkiv Formation, more than 200 m thick, is represented by alternating dark grey argillaceous shale and thin−bedded (1-10 cm, rarely up to 20 cm) fine−grained limestone.…”
