Raphiophorus-Encrinuraspis Assemblage, Prague Basin (Silurian to of Czech Republic)
Where: Czech Republic (49.9° N, 14.2° E: paleocoordinates 51.8° S, 57.3° E)
• coordinate based on nearby landmark
• local area-level geographic resolution
When: Kopanina Formation, Gorstian to Gorstian (427.4 - 423.0 Ma)
• Lower Kopanina.
• formation-level stratigraphic resolution
Environment/lithology: marine; calcareous shale
• "...the offshore facies of the Kopanina Formation deposited at greater distances from volcanic elevations. The preservation of complete exoskeletons of trilobites suggests a low energy sedimentation at greater depths, probably BA 5."
• "The fauna is found in brown calcareous shales..."
