Also known as Korovnikov and Ushatinskaya 1994

Where: Tuva, Russian Federation (51.7° N, 94.4° E: paleocoordinates 5.5° S, 6.7° E)

• coordinate based on nearby landmark

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Poliellina - Laticephalus trilobite zone, Lower Member (Salany Gol Formation), Botomian (516.0 - 512.9 Ma)

• Was upper half of Lower Bayan-Gol (subformation). However, Smith et al. (2016) find that whole formation to be Nemakit-Daldynian. Given the trilobite zone, this should be Upper Salany Gol given Gubanov (2002: Tectonophysics 352: 153– 168.)

• group of beds-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: lithified carbonate

Size class: macrofossils

Preservation: original phosphate

Collection methods: chemical

• The specimens are housed in the Paleontological Institute, Russian Academy of Sciences, as Collection PIN No. 4514
