Also known as V 1047
Where: New Zealand (40.7° S, 172.4° E: paleocoordinates 13.1° N, 167.7° W)
• coordinate based on nearby landmark
• outcrop-level geographic resolution
When: Battery Member (Aorangi Mine Formation), Yapeenian (470.3 - 467.3 Ma)
• STRATIGRAPHIC RELATIONS: Derived from Battery Member of Aorangi Mine Fm, which overlies the Anthill Black Shale Mbr (Lancefieldian-Castlemanian). THICKNESS: 150 m in type section. AGE: Battery Mbr is upper Castlemainian and lower Yapeenian, but collection is derived from the zone of I. v. maximodivergens, corresponding to the lower part of the member and is lower Yapeenian. STRATIGRAPHIC POSITION: Presumably uppermost part of Battery Mbr.
• bed-level stratigraphic resolution
Environment/lithology: deep-water; poorly lithified, gray, blue, sandy siltstone
Size class: macrofossils
Preservation: original carbon
Reposited in the IGNS
Collection methods: bulk,
• COLLECTOR: G. Smith (see Smith 1966, p. 174). REPOSITORY: New Zealand Geological Survey (now GNS Science), Lower Hutt, New Zealand
