Where: Sardinia, Italy (39.5° N, 8.5° E: paleocoordinates 58.8° S, 51.6° E)
• coordinate estimated from map
• local area-level geographic resolution
When: M. transgrediens zone, Fluminimaggiore Formation, Pridoli (423.0 - 419.2 Ma)
• In this study, isolated blocks were correlated on basis of contained conodonts. L. elegans detorta conodont Subzone.
• member-level stratigraphic resolution
Environment/lithology: marine; shelly/skeletal wackestone and calcareous shale
•For this community: "Disarticulated shells occur in large nodules of the dark micritic to biomicritic limestones which form a horizon in the calcareous shales."
Collection methods: Table 10 gives numerical abundances and inferred life habits of bivalves. Similar to PBDB coll. 26173, but that list has fewer bivalves and this one has fewer cephalopods.
