Where: Czech Republic (50.0° N, 14.1° E: paleocoordinates 56.3° S, 61.3° E)
• coordinate based on nearby landmark
• local area-level geographic resolution
When: Monograptus belophorus zone, Motol Formation, Sheinwoodian (433.4 - 430.5 Ma)
• formation-level stratigraphic resolution
Environment/lithology: marine; gray limestone
Collection methods: Authors give relative abundance data (very rare, more frequent, frequent) for brachiopods. Authors state in text that there are more than 20 trilobite species, but they list only four (dominant) species.
