Where: Sweden (57.4° N, 17.0° E: paleocoordinates 38.2° S, 8.2° W)

• coordinate estimated from map

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Asaphus raniceps trilobite zone, Oland C Formation, Kunda (469.2 - 464.3 Ma)

• Specimens sampled from "f" bed of Bohlin 1949. Age and stratigraphy based on Nordlund 1989 (GFF 111:64-94) and Struresson 1986 (GFF 108:331-348). PJW: Was Holen Limestone based on prior references. However, raniceps-aged rock on Öland now is in the informal Öland C formation. (Holen is slightly older, too.)

• bed-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: marine; lithified limestone

Size class: macrofossils

Collected in 1939, 1941
