Lepidoleptaena poulseni-Hennigopora flexuosa Comm., Kantinovo Fm.,SW Byelorussia (Silurian of Belarus)

Where: Belarus (52.0° N, 24.0° E: paleocoordinates 17.0° S, 3.8° E)

• coordinate estimated from map

• local area-level geographic resolution

When: Kantinovo Formation, Pridoli (423.0 - 419.2 Ma)

• formation-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: marine; gray, green marl and gray, green shale

• "Small, intedeterminate tabulate and stromatoporoid colonies are dominant, although traces of large buildups are unknown, with other benthos present. The widespread fauna of the type discusssed here is very similar to that from the offshore shelf facies of the Kuressaare Stage as well as to parts of the Skala Stage in Podolia. BA 3."
• "Occurs in greenish-gray marls and shales with laminae, nodules, and lenses of marlstones."

Collection methods: core

• Abundances given for dominant brachiopods and bryozoans.
