In the geologic timescale, thePřídolí Epoch (Czech pronunciation:[ˈpr̝̊iːdoliː]) is the uppermost subdivision of theSilurian Period, dated at between 422.7 ± 1.6 and 419.62 ± 1.36 mya (million years ago). The Přídolí Epoch succeeds theLudfordian Stage and precedes theLochkovian, the lowest of three stages within theLower Devoniangeological epoch. It is named after one locality at theHomolka a Přídolínature reserve near thePrague suburb,Slivenec, in theCzech Republic.[7] The GSSP is located within thePožáry Formation, overlying theKopanina Formation. Přídolí is the old name of acadastral field area.[8]
TheŠilalė Event, a negative carbon isotope excursion corresponding to an extinction event ofconodonts, occurred during the early Pridoli.[9]
