Olenus Zone, Oland, Sweden - Muller 1983 (Cambrian of Sweden)

Where: Sweden (56.3° N, 16.4° E: paleocoordinates 43.5° S, 21.6° W)

• local area-level geographic resolution

When: Agnostus pisiformis zone, Maentwrogian (501.0 - 488.3 Ma)

• group of beds-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: lithified, black, gray limestone

• anthraconitic, black or grey with whitish bands, abundantly fossiliferous limestone called orsten occurring primarily as lenses or less frequently intercalated in black shales.

Preservation: replaced with phosphate

Collection methods: Rocks are too coarse to preserve large macrofossils (diagentically destroyed).
