Where: Czech Republic (50.0° N, 14.1° E: paleocoordinates 61.4° S, 67.7° E)

• coordinate based on nearby landmark

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Demirastrites convolutus - Stimulograptus sedgwickii graptolite zone, Zelkovice Formation, Aeronian (440.8 - 438.5 Ma)

• Graptolite zones Demirastrites convolutus to Monograptus sedgwicki.

• formation-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: marine; volcaniclastic, gray shale and limestone

Size class: macrofossils

Collection methods: Very similar to Aegironetes-Aulacopleura Community of Havlicek and Storch (PBDB Coll. no. 14087), but not completely redundant with that. Trilobite species said to number "almost 30", but some rare ones are not listed. Papers by Snajdr (1978, 1986) may be able to supplement list.
