Reveroides-Trimerella Community, Central Urals (Silurian to of Russian Federation)

Where: Russian Federation (59.2° N, 60.5° E: paleocoordinates 6.5° S, 10.9° E)

• coordinate based on political unit

• local area-level geographic resolution

When: Llandovery to Llandovery (443.4 - 427.4 Ma)

• Probably Late Llandoverian or Early Wenlockian. Lowermost part of Semenov Regional Stage, underlying Jolvia multiplexa community.

Environment/lithology: marine; ferruginous limestone

• Lithology and morphology of shells (pedicle; heavy ventral valves) suggest level bottom conditions, whereas ration of articulated to disarticulated shells suggests quiet water. BA 3. Elsewhere related Pentameridae and Trimerella commonly found in rough water.
• "Occurs in massive, tough, ferruginous limestone in the lowermost part of the Semenov Regional Stage"
