Where: Nevada (37.6° N, 117.2° W: paleocoordinates 0.8° S, 91.7° W)
• coordinate estimated from map
• small collection-level geographic resolution
When: Elvinia trilobite zone, Emigrant Formation, Paibian (497.0 - 494.0 Ma)
• Furongian Series
• group of beds-level stratigraphic resolution
Environment/lithology: offshore shelf; lithified shale
•Nevada, and Death Valley, California. This thick package
•consists of carbonates and clastics that were deposited in outershelf
•to slope settings and include megabreccia-carbonadtee bris
•flows and pelagic and hemipelagic sediments. The formation
•has been subdivided into a 150 m lower limestone and
•siltstone member, 250 m (probably faulted and repeated) middle
•shale member, and 300 m upper limestone and chert member
•composed of ribbon limestones, interbeddeds hales, and megabreccia. the locality probably
•is in the "middle shale member"
Size class: mesofossils
