Lansa 1, 4025 meters west of Fårö Church (Silurian of Sweden)

Also known as Faro island, Slite Beds, Gotland

Where: Gotland, Sweden (57.9° N, 19.1° E: paleocoordinates 21.1° S, 2.7° W)

• coordinate based on nearby landmark

• small collection-level geographic resolution

When: Kockelella walliseri conodont zone, D Member (Slite Formation), Sheinwoodian (433.4 - 430.5 Ma)

• group of beds-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: reef, buildup or bioherm; lithified limestone

• From Samtleben et al. (1996). Geol. Rundsch 85:278-292; "...this unit consists of a carbonate platform with reef mounds and surrounding shoal sediments of mostly pure biodetritic and pleoidal limestones. Here slow and discontinuous accumulation of carbonate material continued in a very shallow water but under normal marine conditions....to the south and southwest the carbonate platform passes with a conspicuous slope into a deeper shelf basin where a uniform alternation of micritic limestones and marls accumulated."

Size class: macrofossils

Collection methods: peel or thin section,
