Where: Nevada (36.7° N, 116.3° W: paleocoordinates 1.8° S, 94.7° W)
• coordinate estimated from map
• outcrop-level geographic resolution
When: Glossopleura trilobite zone, Jangle Limestone Member (Carrara Formation), Delamaran (511.2 - 506.5 Ma)
• Inasmuch as the faunas of the overlying Desert Range Limestone Member contain abundant representatives of Glossopleura in many sections, the boundary between the Albertella and Glossopleura zones falls at or near the top of the Jangle Limestone Member.
• member-level stratigraphic resolution
Environment/lithology: shallow subtidal; ooidal limestone
•lime mudstones, trilobite- and echinodermfragment
•wackestones, packstones, and grainstones, oolite,
•fenestral-fabric and laminated limestones.
Size classes: macrofossils, mesofossils, microfossils
