Locality V. bluff along West Frok of Black River (Cambrian of the United States)

Where: Reynolds County, Missouri (37.0° N, 91.0° W: paleocoordinates 22.9° S, 87.4° W)

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Potosi Formation, Trempealeauan (492.5 - 485.4 Ma)

• The dolomite in which the fossils occur may or may not be in place stratigraphically. So, a rating of A through F indicates stratigraphic reliability with A = no question as to stratigraphic position of horizon and F = residual material of different ages. Reliability Index A

• formation-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: reef, buildup or bioherm; lithified, cherty/siliceous dolomite

• Strata are in pockets of the Ozark Uplift.
• thick, cherty dolomite with digitate stromatolites

Size classes: macrofossils, mesofossils

Preservation: original calcite, replaced with silica
