Geology comments: "In the E Baltic A. prunum occurs in patchy lenses, where adult specimens may be in life position. IN the subsurface of the E Baltic, A. prunum dominates over other brachiopods within extensive intervals that have been interpreted as inshor shoal and open shelf sediments (Nestor & Einasto 1982; Kaljo & Rubel 1982). The beds w/ A. prunum have been assigned to BA 2, nearer to the shoreline than the similar environment of the Homoeospira-Delthyris Community (Kaljo & Rubel 1982, table 2.3)."
