Where: England, United Kingdom (52.6° N, 2.8° W: paleocoordinates 86.5° S, 19.7° E)
• coordinate estimated from map
• outcrop-level geographic resolution
When: Rhombocorniculum cancellatum small shelly zone, Lower Limestone Member (Lower Comley Formation), Branchian (520.0 - 513.0 Ma)
• See Rushton (1974): The Cambrian of Wales & England, pp. 43 - 123 in Holland, C.H. The Cambrian of the British Isles, Norden and Spitzenbergen.
•
•Hinz suggests Botomian, but Siveter et al. make it clear that it should be Atdabanian.
•
•Given the zones, Branchian is most appropriate (PJW).
• group of beds-level stratigraphic resolution
