Stelodictyon iniquum Community, Early Ludlow, Central and Northern Urals (Silurian of Russian Federation)

Also known as Reef 3704

Where: Russian Federation (59.0° N, 62.0° E: paleocoordinates 1.5° N, 10.4° E)

• coordinate based on political unit

• basin-level geographic resolution

When: Ludlow (427.4 - 423.0 Ma)

Environment/lithology: reef, buildup or bioherm; reef rocks

• "A rough water community associated with algal-stromatoporoidal bioherms. The community is laterally associated with Trimerella Community banks. BA 3, as suggested by close association with typically BA 3 Trimerella Comm."
• "...algal-stromatoporoidal bioherms..."
