Where: Norway (70.6° N, 28.2° E: paleocoordinates 44.4° S, 8.8° W)

• coordinate estimated from map

• small collection-level geographic resolution

When: Lower Member (Duolbasgaissa Formation), Atdabanian (521.0 - 516.0 Ma)

• Combined section from several localities, but fossil data for each horizon supposedly from one locality. Unclear if this collection is actually sepearate from previous one, or they are the same with unresolved age.

• group of beds-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: offshore; lithified, silty sandstone

• Offshore sandstones and siltstones deposited close to fair-weather wave base, the quartarenites are wave dominated and are lithologically identical to those in the overlying member but are unbioturbated.

Size classes: macrofossils, mesofossils

Preservation: mold/impression
