Also known as 00AD20A; Loc. 72
Where: Alaska (68.1° N, 162.8° W: paleocoordinates 32.9° N, 11.3° W)
• coordinate based on nearby landmark
• outcrop-level geographic resolution
When: Siksikpuk Formation (Etivluk Group), Serpukhovian (330.9 - 323.2 Ma)
• STRATIGRAPHIC RELATIONS: From the Siksikpuk Formation of the Etivluk Gp. AGE: Probably late Late
•Mississippian to early Middle Pennsylvanian (probably Chesterian-Morrowan); placed here in the Serpukhovian to avoid stratigraphic orhaning. STRATIGRAPHIC POSITION: Siksikpuk Formation (base of lower subunit) 0.5 m above Kuna Formation, on southeast side of “Orange Creek.” Contact marked by horizon of mammiform structures with 40 cm of vertical relief.
• bed-level stratigraphic resolution
Environment/lithology: marine; lithified, gray, green chert
Size class: macrofossils
Collected by Dumoulin in 2000; reposited in the USNM
• COLLECTOR: J. A. Dumoulin. REPOSITORY: Presumably USNM.
