Where: Utah (39.3° N, 113.3° W)
• Paleocoordinates: 31.2° N, 131.0° W (Wright 2013)
• coordinate stated in text
• small collection-level geographic resolution
When: Ptychagnostus gibbus trilobite zone, Wheeler Shale Formation, Dyeran to Dyeran (515.3 - 497.0 Ma)
• "3 cm thick shaly layer associated with the trilobite Peronopsis interstricta, which is directly above a limestone bed, and about 60 metres below the lowest limestone of the Marjum Formation." PJW: Was Marjum, but this says that it's below the Marjum. That would be Wheeler. This is Topazan, but we cannot seem to enter that age.
• group of beds-level stratigraphic resolution
Environment/lithology: offshore shelf; shale
Size class: mesofossils
