Where: Scotland, United Kingdom (55.7° N, 3.9° W: paleocoordinates 16.4° S, 20.6° W)

• coordinate based on political unit

• local area-level geographic resolution

When: Patrick Burn Formation (Priesthill Group), Llandovery to Llandovery (443.4 - 427.4 Ma)

• This part of fauna occurs "considerably lower in the formation" than the eurypterids.

• member-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: marine; siltstone and siliciclastic

Collection methods: "The marine shells [which are in the turbidites] are not in the same beds as the vertebrates or the eurypterids [which are in the laminated siltstones]."
