Where: Lithuania (55.7° N, 25.4° E: paleocoordinates 21.8° S, 1.6° E)

• coordinate based on nearby landmark

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Llandovery to Llandovery (443.4 - 423.0 Ma)

• I have not yet located a source that gives likely age vs. depth for this borehole. The community as a whole is said to range from Late Llandovery to Early Ludlow. Community is also said to occur in Sutkai Beds of the Paprienia Formation (Lower Wenlockian) in this borehole, but it is not at all clear that the levels listed in Table 21.5 correspond to these beds. In fact, there are conspicuous differences in faunal content between beds listed in Table 21.5 and fauna explicitly mentioned as coming from Sutkai Beds.

• bed-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: marine; gray, green, argillaceous marl and lime mudstone

Collection methods: Brachiopods listed (with abundances) in table 21.5.
