Platteville Formation Gastropoda and Monoplacophora, Minnesota (Ordovician to of the United States)

Where: Minnesota (46.0° N, 94.0° W)

• Paleocoordinates: 7.1° S, 114.3° W (Wright 2013)

• coordinate estimated from map

• basin-level geographic resolution

When: Platteville Formation, Blackriveran to Blackriveran (457.3 - 449.6 Ma)

• formation-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: limestone

• Environmental call by T. Hanson.

• Limestone with shaly partings. Lithology from W. F. Rice and E. P. Hedblom. 1987. Brachiopods and trilobites of the Sardeson Beds in the Twin Cities. Middle and Late Ordovician lithostratigraphy and biostratigraphy of the Upper Mississippi Valley: Minnesota Geological Survey Report of Investigations 35 :131-135. Edited by R. E. Sloan.

Size class: macrofossils

Collection methods: Diverse semi-infaunal to epifaunal pteriomorphs. Infaunal paleotaxodonts show little diversity. "Where possible, stratigraphic information is taken from museum labels; where this is not possible, it is taken from Bassler (1915)."
