Where: Yunnan, China (26.4° N, 103.1° E: paleocoordinates 35.5° N, 163.6° E)

• coordinate based on nearby landmark

• small collection-level geographic resolution

When: Paragloborilus subglobosus-Purella squamulosa small shelly zone, Zhongyicun Member (Zhujiaqing Formation), Meishucunian to Meishucunian (530.7 - 525.5 Ma)

• LITHOSTRATIGRAPHIC RELATIONS: From the Zhongyicun Mbr of the Zhujiaqing Fm. AGE: Meischucunian stage in Feng et al (2001); placed here in Nemakit-Daldynian according to Steiner et al. (2007) based on correlation of Zhongyicun Mbr to lower Meischucunian= Nemakit-Daldynian. STRATIGRAPHIC POSITION: From upper phosphatic bed (Feng et al., 2001).
