Where: Venezuela (8.6° N, 71.2° W: paleocoordinates 55.2° S, 83.8° W)

• coordinate based on political unit

• basin-level geographic resolution

When: El Horno Formation, Telychian (438.5 - 433.4 Ma)

• Late Llandovery-C5; see Boucot et al. 1972--PBDB ref. 7026. Occurrence is from a stream boulder--it is not entirely clear from the discussion in references 7007 and 7026 whether this represents Caparo Formation or not. This was originally part of the Caparo Formation, but that is now restricted to the Sandbian.

• formation-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: marine; siliciclastic sediments

Size class: macrofossils
