Also known as Samples 1/29.5-1/22 and M410/104

Where: Sakha, Russian Federation (70.1° N, 114.0° E: paleocoordinates 22.9° S, 10.4° W)

• coordinate stated in text

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Watsonella small shelly zone, Medvezhya Formation, Tommotian (525.5 - 521.0 Ma)

• Stage 2 of Terreneuvian. "lowermost sampled part of section 1 belongs to the uppermost Nemakit-Daldyn Formation (thrombolitic boundstone of the Koril Member; Kaufman et al. 1996), which is overlain above the sequence boundary by limestone beds of the Medvezhya Formation grading upwards into grey limestone with oolites attributable to the Kugda-Yuryakh Formation (e.g., Dyatlova et al. 1990; Fig. 4)."

Environment/lithology: shallow subtidal; lithified limestone

• Not stated but presumably shallow subtidal given adjacent lithologies
• "limestone"

Size classes: mesofossils, microfossils

Preservation: mold/impression, replaced with phosphate
