Oncocerid cephalopods of Hemse Beds (Silurian to of Sweden)

Where: Gotland, Sweden (57.5° N, 18.4° E: paleocoordinates 17.1° S, 2.5° W)

• coordinate based on political unit

• local area-level geographic resolution

When: Hemse Beds Formation, Gorstian to Gorstian (427.4 - 423.0 Ma)

• group of beds-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: shallow subtidal; limestone

• SEP: Environmental call impossible here, but it is almost certainly shallow based on what is called marl vs. limestone in the Hemse.
