Toten- Nes-Hamar districts, Miösa Fm, Bergevika Mmb (Ordovician of Norway)

Where: Norway (60.7° N, 11.0° E: paleocoordinates 28.8° S, 9.0° W)

• coordinate estimated from map

• small collection-level geographic resolution

When: Bergevika Member (Mjøsa Formation), Katian (453.0 - 445.2 Ma)

• The age of the Mjøsa Formation has recently been refined to span the late Sandbian-Katian stages of the Late Ordovician based on δ13C chemostratigraphy.

Environment/lithology: reef, buildup or bioherm; limestone

• The fauna of the shallow water limestones of the Bergevika Member includes in addition to bryozoans, brachiopods, trilobites, corals, as well as stromatoporoids, algae and microfossils. Stromatoporoids and corals dominate the fauna in general, whereas bryozoans are abundant only in certain beds. Locally, Solenopora-stromatoporiod bioherms are developed indicating a rather shallowdepositionalenvironment.
• bioclastic limestone

Size classes: mesofossils, microfossils
