The nautiloid assemblage from this erratic boulder contains also a longiconic species of Clinoceras and the
ellesmeroceratid Cochlioceras,both common in the Lasnamigian.
Along with the erratic boulder material,
some specimens of the species are known
which were collected from in situ outcrops of the Folkeslunda Limestone of
southern Sweden (they are in the collection of the Naturhistoriska Riksmuseet, Stockholm).
The species seems thus to range from the
early Kundan to late Lasnamigian of at
least the western Baltic area.
