Cambrian Basal clastic Formation – originally regarded all as Devonian in age. Lower Cambrian acritarchs in Boreholes in SE Moravia Měnín, Němčičky). Shallow marine, hard to distinguish from Devonian – same provenance of clastic material. Early Cambrian position of the Brunovistulian terraner

Rare occurrence in boreholes in tle northern part of Brunovistulicum in Poland, not found in ČR Ordovician Silurian Only Stínava near Prostějov, grey shales with limestone intercalations, strongly tectonized between the Devonian and Culm sediments, Llandovery-přídolí. Graptolites. Problematic occurrences in crystalline units of Silesicum (Branna Group)

Devonian (preorogenic sedimentation) Drahany development Vrbno development Ludmírov development Moravian Karst development Tišnov Development

Brunovistulian terrane

Drahany (basinal) development Vrbno (basinal) development Vrbno Group – Hruby Jesenik Mts., more than 1000m. Basal phyllites overlain by Drakov quartzites. These metaquartzites contain early devonian fauna of brachiopods, tentaculites, bivalves, trilobites. Rhenish character. Metamorphosis up to tle garnet and staurolite zone. Higher up phyllites and mica-schists with abundant basic and rare acid vulcanites. Final member – crystalline Heřmanovice Limestone -Givetian Drahany Upland, Šternberk-Hornobenešov belt. Basal clastics – only Konice area, early Devonian fauna. Conlomerates, sandstones, sandy limestones Stínava-Chabičov Formation, shales silty shales, basic vulcanites. Stinava Beds – early Devonian fauna. Chabičov Beds – Emsian, Eifellian. Tentaculites, trilobites. Jesenec Limestones – calciturbidites, middle Devonia- Tournaisian. Ponikev Formation - shales, radiolarites. Frasnian to the uppermost Tournaisian Volcanism – spilite-keratophyre, predominance of spilites, early Devonian to early Carboniferous.

Ludmírov (transitional) Development Basal clastic formation – quartz conglomerates passing to sandy limestones Stínava-Chabičov Formation – rich fauna of trilobites, goniatites, bivalves, gastropods, corals etc. Similar lithology to Drahany development, no volcanites. Equivalents of tle Macocha Formation, limestones with corals, srtromatoporoids Alternating with calciturbidites and hemipelagic limestones. Equivalents of Lišeň formation – Famennian Ponikev Formation – shales with radiolarites, intercalations of limestones.

Amphipora ramosa Bornhardtina

Moravian Karst (platform) Development Basal clastics – red colour, conglomerates, sandstones Macocha Formation Josefov Formation – brachiopods (Bornhardtina, Stringocephalus). Lažánky Limestones – dark grey, branched stromatoporoids (Amphipora, Stachyodes) Vilémovice Limestones – abundant corals, stromatopotroids, calcareous algae. 4 cycles – Čelechovice, Býčí Skala, Ochoz and Mokrá starting with pioneering associations (darker limestones) to the flourishing of reef asociations (light limestones) Líšeň Formation Křtiny Limestones nodular, micritic, pelagic and benthic fauna (conodonts, radiolarians), hemilelagic limestones, mud calciturbidites, higher content of clay Hády-Říčka Limestones – bioclastic(crinoids, foraminifers, calcareous algae), intercalations of shales. Calciturbidites, benthic and nectonic fauna. Hemipelagic parts – nectonic and planctonic fauna (conodonts, radiolarians) Hněvotím limestones – thin bedded (laminated), calciturbidites. Dražovice Limestones – boreholes eastern part of Moravia, below units of West Carpathians, shallow water platform limestones with crinoids, calcareous algae and foraminifers
