Where: Millard County, Utah (39.3° N, 113.6° W: paleocoordinates 4.9° N, 40.2° W)

• coordinate stated in text

• small collection-level geographic resolution

When: Ely Limestone Formation, Desmoinesian (312.8 - 306.0 Ma)

• bed-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: shallow subtidal; lithified grainstone

Size class: macrofossils

Preservation: replaced with silica

Collection methods: bulk, mechanical, acetic,

• "Slabs were disolved using acetic acid to remove carbonate and some residual minerap phases, leaving silicified fossil associations of brachiopods although carbonate brachiopod specimens were also found and removed using mechanical procedures".

•

•Corals reported on strat column, but not in faunal list.
