Stephanocrinus cornetti-Cupulocorona osgoodensis Assoc., Osgood Fms., Indiana (Silurian to of the United States)

Where: Indiana (39.1° N, 85.3° W: paleocoordinates 26.3° S, 53.6° W)

• coordinate based on political unit

• local area-level geographic resolution

When: Osgood Formation, Telychian to Telychian (438.5 - 430.5 Ma)

• "?Latest Llandoverian (C6) to Early Wenlockian...Portions of the Middle Osgood Limestone, Middle Osgood Shale, and Upper Osgood Shale = Osgood Member, Salamonie Dolomite.

• formation-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: deep subtidal; shelly/skeletal, argillaceous wackestone

• "bryozoan colonies and echinoderm calices sometimes intact...trilobites generally dissociated...winnowed debris piles in some sections..root systems common...not associated with mounds...BA 4-5..."

•

•SEP environmental call based on given information and knowledge of regional geology

• "The most common lithology is siliciclastic or carbonate-muddy, echinodermal-bryozoan wackestone with up to 50% skeletal debris. Detrital pyrite grains and partial pyrite replacement of fossils clasts frequently noted."
