Where: Khasagt-Khairkhan, Mongolia (45.0° N, 90.0° E: paleocoordinates 1.9° S, 11.3° E)
• coordinate based on political unit
• local area-level geographic resolution
When: Salany-Gol Formation, Atdabanian (521.0 - 516.0 Ma)
• specimens are located at the top of the Atdabanian Stage. PJW: Tommotian-Atdabanian rock here should be Salany-Gol formation; however, it also might be older than Atdabanian as most of the original estimates of ages were too young according to Smith et al. (2016 Geol. Soc. Amer. Bull.).
