Generalka-slope. 26 m (Silurian of Russian Federation)

Where: Gorny Altai, Russian Federation (51.3° N, 83.2° E: paleocoordinates 28.6° N, 17.9° E)

• coordinate based on nearby landmark

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

• bed-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: reef, buildup or bioherm; siltstone and silty limestone

• includes back-reef
• Fine-grained, greenish to dirty yellow siltstones and massive, organogenic-clastic, clayey medium-grained gray & light gray limestone lenses.
