Where: Tomsk, Russian Federation (59.4° N, 85.7° E: paleocoordinates 32.2° S, 15.1° E)

• coordinate estimated from map

• small collection-level geographic resolution

When: Nama other zone, Kotodzha Formation, Ediacaran (635.0 - 541.0 Ma)

• depth interval 4582-4191 m. PJW: Put in Vendian, but also in the Nemakit Daldynian, which had not yet been annexed by the Cambrian. PJW again: Nope, it's in the lower Nemakit Daldynian, but below the Nemakit Daldynian Horizon, & the current Nemakit Daldynian begins at the Horizon. So, back to the Ediacaran with you!

• group of beds-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: deep subtidal ramp; lithified dolomite

Size class: macrofossils
