Also known as Locality H2
Where: Lääne-Viru, Estonia (59.3° N, 26.4° E: paleocoordinates 30.9° S, 0.3° W)
• coordinate stated in text
• small collection-level geographic resolution
When: Kahula Formation, Johvi (453.0 - 449.9 Ma)
• lower part of Kahula Formation (Raukas & Teedumäe [eds] 1997, Geology and Mineral Resources of Estonia, html version, http://sarv.gi.ee/geology)
Environment/lithology: open shallow subtidal; lithified, argillaceous limestone
•"Rhythmically bedded argillaceous wackestones–packstones of the Haljala Stage have been deposited in the temperate climate open marine conditions on the upper shelf or ramp (Nestor & Einasto 1997). The abundance and high diversity of benthic shelly fauna refers to the depositional environment at a moderate depth, probably within the photic zone."
