Syringopora fascicularis Community, Sokol subsuite, Podolia (Silurian of Ukraine)

Where: Ukraine (48.5° N, 26.6° E: paleocoordinates 21.4° S, 7.5° E)

• coordinate based on political unit

• local area-level geographic resolution

When: Sokol Subsuite Formation, Ludlow (427.4 - 423.0 Ma)

• Sokol subsuite of the Tsviklevtsy suite, Malinovtsy series (Ulichian superhorizon).

• formation-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: marine; argillaceous lime mudstone

• "This authochthonous community is widely distributed, presumably from larvae. Branching coral colonies and intact trilobites indicate weak turbulence...Community assigned to outer part of BA 3 becaue it alternates with Kirkidium knighti and Didymothyris didyma Communities."
• "The sediment was soft, clayey limemud that became lithified into nodular, argillaceous limestones."
