Where: Pennsylvania (43.0° N, 76.0° W: paleocoordinates 34.4° S, 34.8° W)
• coordinate based on political unit
• basin-level geographic resolution
When: Manlius Limestone Formation, Lochkovian (419.2 - 410.8 Ma)
• Assemblage is known from a range of formations in Pridolian through Lochkovian strata, but the understanding of Lochkovian elements is based mainly on Manlius Limestone.
Environment/lithology: shallow subtidal; carbonate
Collection methods: Emphasis here is on the rugosans. Tabulates, brachiopods, stromatoporoids, high-spired gastropods, and ostracodes are also present.
