| Stratigraphy comments: Evans (2000) states that the locality is in the "Kilbride Formation, Llandovery Series, Telychian Stage" and refers to Parker et al. (1995, J. Geol. Soc. Lond. 152(6)) for further details. Parker et al. (1995) additionaly say that it is in the Finny School Member, comprising the upper portion of the Kilbride Formation. Evans does not state in any way whether the cephalopod occurs in the same bed as the fauna described by Parker et al. (1995). | |||||
