Atrypa-Xystostrophia Community, Padaukpin, Burma (Devonian of Myanmar)

Where: Myanmar (22.1° N, 96.6° E: paleocoordinates 6.5° S, 134.8° E)

• coordinate stated in text

• local area-level geographic resolution

When: Eifelian (393.3 - 387.7 Ma)

Environment/lithology: marine; calcareous mudstone and shelly/skeletal grainstone

• See lithology.
• "The fossils are chiefly articulated specimens in a medium-bedded, calcareous mudstone and thin-bedded, bioclastic limestone. This suggests a moderately quiet-water, normal, BA 3 marine environment."

Collection methods: List in table 4 includes specimen counts at the genus level. This is said to be from the same locality and collection as Anderson et al. 1969 (PBDB ref. 7184). Species names are from ref. 7184, as are non-brachiopod elements of fauna.
