Where: Sardinia, Italy (30.3° N, 8.7° E)

• Paleocoordinates: 72.4° S, 42.2° E (Wright 2013)

• coordinate estimated from map

• small collection-level geographic resolution

When: Amorphognathus ordovicicus conodont zone, Punta S'Argiola Member (Domusnovas Formation), Kralodvorian (449.8 - 445.2 Ma)

• Near to of the member.

• group of beds-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: offshore shelf; lithified, shelly/skeletal, calcareous mudstone

Size classes: macrofossils, mesofossils

Collection methods: BA 5/6 Foliomena community; Member occurs in five outcrops, but is only .89 to 1.5 meters thick, (on average 1.1 m). All the photographed specimens come from these two locations (only approx. 15 km apart) and so I will consider this a pooled sample, despite more than one location.
