Also known as Kazimirovo
Where: Belarus (55.6° N, 26.6° E: paleocoordinates 34.9° S, 1.1° E)
• coordinate based on nearby landmark
When: clingani graptolite zone, Alvitas Formation, Oandu (453.0 - 451.8 Ma)
• PJW: Paškevičius calls this the Drūkšiai Formation. However, Hints et al. (2018) have the Drūkšiai as much older; the two works clearly are using the same name for two different rock units. Therefore, I replaced Druksiai with the contemporaneous Alvitas.
• formation-level stratigraphic resolution
Environment/lithology: limestone and gray, blue, calcareous marl
•limestone of the Drūkšiai Formation"
Size classes: macrofossils, mesofossils
