Age range of interval: 438.6 - 432.9 m.y. ago
Stratigraphy
Formation:Samuelsen Høj
Stratigraphic resolution:formation
Lithology and environment
Primary lithology: "carbonate"
Lithology description: "carbonate mounds lacking terrigenous, siliciclastic input" From ref. 6633: "pure limestone"
Environment:carbonate indet.
Geology comments: "BA-3, mid-shelf to shelf edge..." From ref. 6633: "The fossils come from a sequence of dolomites, limestones and shales, and were collected through a thickness of a little over 300 m of rock. All the fossils...are in a pure limestone matrix preserved as calcified exoskeletons..."
Taphonomy
Modes of preservation:body
Size of fossils:macrofossils
Collection methods and comments
Reason for describing collection:paleoecologic analysis
Collection method comments: Effort made to restrict list to elements known from type locality. List in text includes percent abundances. Some elements that are not given to species level are determined from PBDB ref. 6633.
