• basin-level geographic resolution

When: McMicken Member (Kope Formation), Edenian (451.0 - 450.2 Ma)

• "Edenian"

• member-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: offshore ramp; lithified, shelly/skeletal mudstone and packstone

• "inner BA4 (S.Holland, pers.comm.). Additional Geographic, Stratigraphic, and Geologic Information added by S.M. Holland, 23 September 1999, as well as the complete species-level lists of Dalve, 1948.
• mostly thin-bedded mudstone, interbedded with lesser amounts of thin to medium bedded calcisiltite, skeletal packstone and skeletal grainstone. skeletal grainstones are commonly cross-bedded and megarippled. calcisiltites commonly have tool marks, planar lamination or hummocky cross-lamination, and trace fossils.
