Thecia swinderniana-Laceripora cribrosa Comm.,W.Khatanzeya Fm.,Nov.Zemlya (Silurian of Russian Federation)

Where: Russian Federation (71.0° N, 58.0° E: paleocoordinates 4.0° N, 1.5° W)

• coordinate estimated from map

• basin-level geographic resolution

When: West Khatanzeya Formation, Ludlow (427.4 - 423.0 Ma)

• formation-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: marine; dolomitic, shelly/skeletal, gray wackestone and dolomitic, shelly/skeletal, gray grainstone

• "Skeletal material buried in near life position, except for sorted crinoidal grains. Environment interpreted as one of shallow water, granular sediments deposited in BA 3 within moderately agitated water. Pentameroids, such as Conchidium [which occurs herein] are largely restricted elsewhere to BA 3, and the thinly laminated nature of the sediments indicates a low level of turbulence."
• "Occurs in dark-gray, finely laminated wackestones and grainstone, locally dolomitized and recrystallized, containing diverse skeletal fossils.
