Also known as Olenek River basin, Khorbusuonka River, Siberian Plat. - Solov'yev 1988

Where: Siberia, Russian Federation (68.5° N, 112.4° E: paleocoordinates 15.6° S, 6.0° W)

• coordinate based on political unit

• local area-level geographic resolution

When: Paradoxides sacheri - Tomagnostus fissus trilobite zone, Kuonamka Formation, Amgan (510.2 - 504.5 Ma)

• PJW: The Paradoxides sacheri - Tomagnostus fissus zone here is the Kuonamka formation, which is Amgan.

• formation-level stratigraphic resolution

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

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.
