Where: Sweden (63.4° N, 12.9° E: paleocoordinates 21.0° S, 8.6° W)

• coordinate based on political unit

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Ede Quartzite Formation, Llandovery (443.4 - 433.4 Ma)

• "The assemblage is adequate to indicate that the Ede Quartzite at this locality is of Early Llandovery age."

• formation-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: marine; lithified, calcareous sandstone

Collection methods: bulk, chemical, mechanical,

• "Preparation was accomplished by means of a rock splitter combined with mild acid treatment, the latter exposing the internal structures of the shell adequately. The leached specimens must be hardened with a plastic dissolved in a solvent."
