Where: Russian Federation (59.9° N, 165.0° E: paleocoordinates 64.7° N, 166.8° E)

• coordinate based on political unit

• local area-level geographic resolution

• formation-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: marine; lithified siltstone and lithified sandstone

Size class: macrofossils
