Also known as Eurypterid-Associated Biota of the Kirusillas Formation at Pojo, Bolivia
Where: Bolivia (17.8° S, 64.8° W: paleocoordinates 52.8° S, 121.7° W)
• coordinate based on political unit
• local area-level geographic resolution
When: Colonograptuas praedeubeli - Colonograptus deubeli graptolite zone, Kirusillas Formation, Homerian (430.5 - 427.4 Ma)
• 360 m above Monograptus dubius horizon (Ludlow) and below Gedinnian age horizon of Australocoelia tourteloti.
•
•Was given as Ludlow-Pridoli. Grahn (2002) gives as upper Ludlow (PJW). However, Maletz et al. (2002) note that the graptolites indicating Ludlow age were misidentified, and indentify Homerian species instead.
• formation-level stratigraphic resolution
Environment/lithology: marine; black, green shale
Size class: macrofossils
