Where: Norway (59.8° N, 10.4° E: paleocoordinates 23.6° S, 8.4° W)

• coordinate based on nearby landmark

• local area-level geographic resolution

When: Vik Formation, Telychian (438.5 - 433.4 Ma)

• formation-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: marine; carbonate and shale

• "Environment: Same as that described for the Pentamerus Community." This was: "...typically found in storm-dominated environments and occurrence and preservation vary considerably with intensity and frequency of storms...In the Oslo region ... it occupies a BA 3 position..."
• "Environment: Same as that described for the Pentamerus Community." This was: "...Community in Norway typically occurs in calcareous strata, sometimes with minor shales, but never with sandstone interbeds."

Collection methods: List based on table 22.12, which also gives numbe of specimens. Given broad geographic range, only this locality is included.
