Dayia navic.-Aegiria grayi-Hennigopora flexuosa Comm.,Rusilov Fm.,SW Byelorussia (Silurian of Belarus)

Where: Belarus (52.0° N, 24.0° E: paleocoordinates 19.8° S, 3.7° E)

• coordinate estimated from map

• local area-level geographic resolution

When: Monograptus balticus zone, Rusilov Formation, Ludlow (427.4 - 423.0 Ma)

• Formation name also spelt "Russilov" and "Rusilovo" in this paper.

• formation-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: marine; shelly/skeletal, gray, green marl

• "Occurs in greenish-gray, nodular marls and lenses and thin laminae of limestones which west of Rataichitsy 12 are replaced by more argillaceous strate (homogeneous marls) in which shallower water benthos...decrease rapidly, and where in the Vyssokoue 1 Borehole the fauna is chiefly graptolitic...[fauna and lithology] provide evidence for shallow water conditions...Also important is an organogenic buildup in the eastern part of the region. During Russilov time there was transgression in the basin. Presence of Skenidioides consistent with BA 5."
• "Occurs in greenish-gray, nodular marls and lenses and thin laminae of limestones which west of Rataichitsy 12 are replaced by more argillaceous strate (homogeneous marls)..." [Coquinas]

Collection methods: core

• Abundances given for dominant brachiopods and bryozoans.
