Guole roadcut (Cambrian of China)

Where: Guangxi, China (23.3° N, 106.1° E: paleocoordinates 27.4° N, 144.5° E)

• coordinate based on nearby landmark

• small collection-level geographic resolution

When: Probinacunaspis nasalis - Peichiashania hunanensis trilobite zone, Sandu Formation, Furongian (497.0 - 485.4 Ma)

• "According to the trilobite fauna, this biota is Jiangshanian in age (equivalent to the Probinacunaspis nasalis-Peichiashania hunanensis Zone of northwestern Hunan43)"

• group of beds-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: slope; lithified marl and lithified lime mudstone

• "a depositional environment in the uppermost part of the continental slope appears more likely for these strata"
• "marls (calcareous mudstone)"

Size class: macrofossils

Collection methods: Reposited at NIGPAS (Nanjing Institute of Geology and Palaeontology, Chinese Academy of Sciences)
