Also known as SSF 65.22

Where: Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada (47.0° N, 56.0° W: paleocoordinates 85.7° S, 31.5° W)

• coordinate based on nearby landmark

• small collection-level geographic resolution

When: Chapel Island Formation, Nemakit-Daldynian (538.8 - 525.5 Ma)

• STRATIGRAPHIC RELATIONS: From Member 4 of the Chapel Island Fm, which overlies the Renconte Fm, and is overlain by the Random Fm. AGE: Unclear from Landing et al. (1989), who refers to the overlying strata as post-Nemakit-Daldynian and pre-Tommotian; "Ladatheca" cylindrica zone; here placed in Nemakit-Daldynian, until clearer data are available. STRATIGRAPHIC POSITION: From the "Ladatheca" cylindrica zone, in the lower part of the regional section, at 120.14 m, within unknown part of Member 3.

• bed-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: deep subtidal shelf; lithified, nodular, pyritic, green mudstone

Size classes: macrofossils, mesofossils, microfossils

Preservation: concretion, replaced with phosphate

Reposited in the ROM

Collection methods: surface (in situ),

• COLLECTOR: Not stated, but presumably Landing et al. REPOSITORY: Royal Ontario Museum (ROM).
