Where: Gotland, Sweden (57.7° N, 18.8° E: paleocoordinates 21.4° S, 2.8° W)
• coordinate based on political unit
• local area-level geographic resolution
When: Slite Beds Formation, Sheinwoodian (433.4 - 430.5 Ma)
• Correlation from Jeppsson (1983), Fossils and Strata 15:128
• group of beds-level stratigraphic resolution
Environment/lithology: open shallow subtidal; peloidal, shelly/skeletal limestone and reef rocks
•Based on information provided in this collection, it is difficult to tell which facies is represented but I have assumed that it represents the more extensive shallow subtidal facies.
Size class: macrofossils
