Where: Sardinia, Italy (39.3° N, 8.7° E: paleocoordinates 59.0° S, 51.5° E)
• coordinate based on political unit
• local area-level geographic resolution
When: Ozarkodina remscheidensis zone, Fluminimaggiore Formation, Pridoli (423.0 - 419.2 Ma)
• In this study, isolated blocks were correlated on basis of contained conodonts. Fluminimaggiore Fm., Lower Pridoli, O. remscheidensis eosteinhornensis zone.
• member-level stratigraphic resolution
Environment/lithology: marine; shelly/skeletal, gray wackestone and calcareous shale
•For this community: "Disarticulated shells occur in the dark micritic to biomicritic lenticular limestone which originally formed horizons in the calcareous shales."
Size class: microfossils
