Where: Sardinia, Italy (39.4° N, 8.5° E: paleocoordinates 50.4° S, 44.8° E)

• coordinate based on political unit

• local area-level geographic resolution

When: Ludfordian to Ludfordian (425.6 - 393.3 Ma)

• Spans siluricas through woschmidti conodont zones. Individual arthropod species can be more finely designated stratigraphically (see Gnoli and Serpagli 1984, PBDB ref. 7253), but authors have lumped these with other faunal elements here.

Environment/lithology: marine; black lime mudstone

Size class: macrofossils
