Also known as Nitikin Locality 119

Where: Kazakhstan (43.8° N, 75.3° E: paleocoordinates 14.9° S, 75.9° E)

• coordinate estimated from map

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Dicellograptus pumilis graptolite zone, Akkol Member (Dulankara Formation), Katian (453.0 - 445.2 Ma)

• Dulankara Stage. Popov & Cocks (2006: txt. f. 3) show that this is the Akkol member.

•

•The age is constrained by the graptolites of the Dicellograptus pumilis Biozone listed above, which is the local equivalent of the Pleurograptus linearis and Dicellograptus complanatus biozones (Nikitin 1972; Popov et al. 1999; Text-fig. 2).

• bed-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: lithified limestone
