Also known as Skiddaw Group fauna, Lake District, UK
Where: England, United Kingdom (54.5° N, 3.4° W: paleocoordinates 71.9° S, 15.8° W)
• coordinate based on nearby landmark
• local area-level geographic resolution
When: "basal" Member (Buttermere Formation), Migneintian (485.4 - 478.6 Ma)
• Cooper et al. (1995): This might be pre-Buttermere; if not, then it is basal Buttermere. Given that no formation has been recognized, I am putting it in an informal "basal" member of the Buttermere (PJW).
• group of beds-level stratigraphic resolution
Environment/lithology: offshore; lithified, gray shale and siltstone
Size classes: macrofossils, mesofossils
