Where: Czech Republic (50.0° N, 14.4° E: paleocoordinates 44.9° S, 52.6° E)
• coordinate based on political unit
• local area-level geographic resolution
When: Monograptus uniformis zone, Lochkovian (419.2 - 410.8 Ma)
• lowermost Lochkovian
• group of beds-level stratigraphic resolution
Environment/lithology: marine; shelly/skeletal lime mudstone and shelly/skeletal limestone
Collection methods: Life mode and abundance of bivalves given (table 16.21). Only bivalves explicitly said to occur at type locality, but I have included a few other elements (two trilobite genera) under assumption that they are also present at type locality.
