Where: Siberia, Russian Federation (62.0° N, 129.7° E: paleocoordinates 8.1° S, 12.3° W)

• coordinate based on political unit

• local area-level geographic resolution

When: Kuonamkites small shelly zone, Kuonamka Formation, Amgan (510.2 - 504.5 Ma)

• formation-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: reef, buildup or bioherm; lithified, shelly/skeletal limestone

• archaeocyaths and skeletal algae. The lithology information for the area is from the International Commission on Stratigraphy -- URL: http://www.uni-wuerzburg.de/palaeontologie/Stuff/casu17.htm

Size classes: macrofossils, mesofossils

Collection methods: The trilobite species described characterize the Yudoma-Olenek region, yet many of the localities are in other well studied facies regions that have specific lithologies and paleo-environments as determined by the International Subcommission on Cambrian Stratigraphy.
