Ostracodes of Beyrichienkalk, association A (Silurian of Germany)

Where: Germany (52.4° N, 13.1° E: paleocoordinates 22.5° S, 2.5° W)

• coordinate based on political unit

• basin-level geographic resolution

When: Hebellum minutum zone, Ludfordian (425.6 - 423.0 Ma)

• Collections from erratic boulders. This association believed to correlate roughly with Kuresaare stage of E. Baltic.

Environment/lithology: marine; limestone

Collection methods: About 800 glacial erratic boulders from numerous existing collections were examined for this publication. As Roterbeyrichienkalk spans both associations A and B, I (Foote) have not separately listed Roterbeyrichienkalk species.
