Oy-Muran section, Bed 01 (Cambrian of Russian Federation)

Where: Yakutia, Russian Federation (61.1° N, 126.2° E: paleocoordinates 10.3° S, 13.9° W)

• coordinate stated in text

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Leptosocyathus polyseptus trilobite zone, Pestrotsvet Formation, Atdabanian (521.0 - 516.0 Ma)

• Sometimes given as part of the Pestrotsvet formation.

• bed-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: reef, buildup or bioherm; red, white limestone

• Alternation of white and light pink, aphanitic limestones and cherry-red clayey ones. Ripple marks are on a limestone surface. Abundant archaeocyathan-algal bioherms-monophyloids (organogenic massif). The upper part contains cherry-red algal biostrome

Size classes: macrofossils, mesofossils, microfossils

• All the fossils were chemically extracted from limestone rocks with buffered ca. 10% diluted acetic acid and represent shells in apatitic preservation.

Preservation: original calcite

Collected by Andrej Zhuravlev in 1981, 1987; reposited in the PIN

Collection methods: bulk, acetic,

• All the fossils were chemically extracted from limestone rocks with buffered ca. 10% diluted acetic acid and represent shells in apatitic preservation.
