Where: British Columbia, Canada (51.3° N, 116.4° W: paleocoordinates 3.4° S, 79.6° W)

• coordinate stated in text

• small collection-level geographic resolution

When: Ehmaniella trilobite zone, Stephen Formation, Middle Cambrian (509.0 - 497.0 Ma)

• "thick" Stephen Formarion. "All specimens ... come from two levels within a ca. 0.6-m-thick packstone bed, which appears to be an amalgamation of several slumping events (R. Gaines pers. comm. 2012). The first level is at the base of the bed (sample ROM63412) and the second 0.4 m above (sample ROM63413). The bed occurs ca. 13 m above the base of the formation"

• bed-level stratigraphic resolution
