Where: Lithuania (55.3° N, 23.2° E: paleocoordinates 20.9° S, 1.0° E)

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Birstonas and Paprieniai Formation, Wenlock (433.4 - 427.4 Ma)

• Jonava beds of the Birstonas Formation and Vilkija beds of the Paprieniai Formation.

• group of beds-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: marine; gray, green marl and concretionary limestone

Collection methods: I have lumped two separate levels in the borehole and have omitted the absolute and relative abundance data supplied. It is not possible to discern from the information given which borehole level corresponds with Jonava beds and which with Vilkija beds.
