Also known as SSF 8.7

Where: Sweden (55.5° N, 14.3° E: paleocoordinates 42.6° S, 30.2° W)

• coordinate based on nearby landmark

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Exsulans Limestone Formation, Lenian (516.0 - 510.2 Ma)

• STRATIGRAPHIC RELATIONS: From the Alum Shale, which overlies the Gislöv Fm. AGE: Lenian, on the basis of trilobite biostratigraphy; Ptychagnostus gibbus trilobite zone. STRATIGRAPHIC POSITION: From bed F in local stratigraphic section. PJW: This is now considered to be Exsulans Limestone.
