Where: Guangxi, China (23.0° N, 108.0° E: paleocoordinates 2.8° N, 126.8° E)

• coordinate estimated from map

• small collection-level geographic resolution

When: Pocheluo Formation, Emsian (407.6 - 393.3 Ma)

• Listed as Emsian

• formation-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: deep subtidal shelf; poorly lithified shale and lithified, argillaceous limestone

Size classes: macrofossils, mesofossils

Collection methods: Sample with megabenthos selected at top of section; focus is biostratigraphy of Emsian, and so likely only focusing on important zone fossils (although brachiopods are listed as well, despite their status as non-guide taxa); setting as "pooled samples" since unsure whether the section listed is a composite one from this one locality

Purpose of describing collection: biostratigraphic analysis
