Where: Wales, United Kingdom (51.8° N, 5.0° W: paleocoordinates 35.8° S, 17.9° W)
• coordinate based on nearby landmark
• small collection-level geographic resolution
When: Gasworks Mudstone Member, Rhuddanian to Rhuddanian (443.4 - 438.5 Ma)
• "[These four localities] are in the topmost 25 m of the Gasworks Mudstone." Rhuddanian - Aeronian inferred due to the statement that this age is "pre-Upper Llandovery, in that it is not yet possible...to distinguish the Lower from the Middle Llandovery (Rhuddanian and Idwian) [in this area]."
• group of beds-level stratigraphic resolution
Environment/lithology: marine
Collection methods: Collections lumped together; individual localities listed in comment field where applicable.
