Where: White Pine County, Nevada (39.5° N, 115.4° W: paleocoordinates 5.0° N, 42.1° W)
• coordinate stated in text
• small collection-level geographic resolution
When: Ely Limestone Formation, Atokan (318.6 - 312.8 Ma)
• bed-level stratigraphic resolution
Environment/lithology: shallow subtidal; lithified packstone
Size class: macrofossils
Preservation: replaced with silica
Collection methods: bulk, mechanical, acetic,
• "Slabs were disolved using acetic acid to remove carbonate and some residual minerap phases, leaving silicified fossil associations of brachiopods although carbonate brachiopod specimens were also found and removed using mechanical procedures"
•
•echinoderms were reported present on strat column (Fig. 2) but were not in faunal list
