Where: Siberia, Russian Federation (68.5° N, 112.4° E: paleocoordinates 14.9° S, 5.3° W)
• coordinate based on political unit
• local area-level geographic resolution
When: upper portion of Paradoxides sacheri-Tomagnostus fissus zone, Solvan to Solvan (510.2 - 499.5 Ma)
Environment/lithology: deep subtidal shelf; lithified limestone and lithified shale
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.
