Where: Esmeralda County, Nevada (37.9° N, 117.9° W: paleocoordinates 3.7° S, 85.5° W)

• coordinate estimated from map

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Emigrant Formation, Early/Lower Ordovician (485.4 - 470.0 Ma)

• As above, but about 15 meters stratigraphically below USNM loc. 42037. [JDM: I am guessing this is a typo, and should be 15 m below USNM loc. 42038, the type locality of Esmeraldacaris richardsonae]

Environment/lithology: offshore shelf; fine-grained limestone and brown, red siltstone

Size class: mesofossils

Preservation: mold/impression
