M304A/27, opposite Isit' village, near Tiiktirikteekh R. mouth (Cambrian of Russian Federation)

Also known as Reef 2803; Gastropoda of Siberia, Locality (3) - Lena River, opposite of Isit - Layer 7

Where: Yakutia, Russian Federation (60.8° N, 125.3° E: paleocoordinates 13.1° S, 14.2° W)

• coordinate estimated from map

• small collection-level geographic resolution

When: Lapworthella tortuosa zone, Pestrotsvet Formation, Tommotian (525.5 - 521.0 Ma)

• orignally entered as Lower Tommotian; Aldanocyathus sunnaginicus zone, this is barely present in this seciton and Layer 7 is Lapworthella tortuosa subzone, Dokidocyathus regularis zone on Fig. 6 (Rozanov et al. 1969).

• bed-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: reef, buildup or bioherm; glauconitic, red limestone and claystone

• The limestones are ... brick red, argillaceous, interspersed with arenaceous material and scarce glauconitic grains. There are innumerable worm tracks on the bedding plane. Some bands are obliquely laminated. A thin band of gray limestones is occasionally encountered. Archeocyathid bioherms are widespread in the upper part of the member.

Size class: mesofossils
