Where: Nova Scotia, Canada (45.8° N, 60.3° W: paleocoordinates 76.6° S, 61.6° W)

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Callavia broeggeri zone, Brigus Formation, Atdabanian to Atdabanian (521.0 - 512.9 Ma)

• JA: Brigus Formation is in the Callavia broeggeri Zone within the lower Branchian Series; correlation to Siberian stages is not indicated, but unit overlies the Atdabanian Fosters Point Formation and is Early Cambrian, so presumably it is Atdabanian or Botomian

• bed-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: marine; lithified packstone

Collection methods: bulk, chemical, mechanical,
