Dayia bohemica Community, Zvenigorod Suite, Podolia (Silurian of Ukraine)

Where: Ukraine (48.5° N, 26.3° E: paleocoordinates 18.6° S, 7.3° E)

• coordinate based on political unit

• local area-level geographic resolution

When: Trubchin Suite Formation, Pridoli (423.0 - 419.2 Ma)

• Zvenigorod Suite of the Ruksin series (Skalian superhorizon).

• formation-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: marine; marl and argillaceous limestone

• "High percentage of articulated valves is consistent with quiet water. this is consistent with presence of unbedded marls and argillaceous, nodular limestones, which are concluded to have formed seasards on the open shelf from local reef knolls."
• "unbedded marls and argillaceous, nodular limestones"

Collection methods: Abundances given for brachiopods.
