Fossils of Lerberget Marlstone at Stora Karlso (Silurian of Sweden)
Where: Gotland, Sweden (57.6° N, 18.3° E)
• Paleocoordinates: 8.7° S, 49.6° W (Wright 2013)
• coordinate based on nearby landmark
• local area-level geographic resolution
When: Lerberget Marlstone Formation, Sheinwoodian (433.4 - 430.5 Ma)
• Manten believes this unit to correlate with Slite III beds on Gotland.
• group of beds-level stratigraphic resolution
Environment/lithology: marine; lithified, gray marl
• Bluish grey to brownish gray, sometimes greenish coloured marlstone, which is dense, rather soft, and generally very thinly foliating. The marlstone layers alternate with thin layers or lenses of marly limestone, which is harder, finely crystalline and of a light-grey colour. (Manten 1971, p.229)
Size classes: macrofossils, mesofossils
