| Basis of coordinate: | stated in text | ||||

Time
| Period: | Ordovician | Epoch: | Late/Upper Ordovician |
| Stage: | Hirnantian | 10 m.y. bin: | Ordovician 5 |
| Key time interval: | Hirnantian | Other zone: | Belonechitina gamachiana |
| Age range of interval: | 445.20000 - 443.80000 m.y. ago |
Stratigraphy
| Formation: | Ellis Bay | Member: | Prinsta | ||
| Stratigraphic resolution: | group of beds | ||||
| Stratigraphy comments: Collection A357 of Dewing 1999. Same collection names are used by Jin 1989, Jin and Zhan 2008, and Li and Copper 2006.
The collection is noted by Dewing to be from the Prinsta to Velleda mbrs. We marked here the lowest Mbr. because we do not know which one the fossils came from. Other authors give it as Prinsta. | |||||
Lithology and environment

| Secondary lithology: | wavy/flaser/lenticular bedding lithified calcareous lime mudstone | ||
| Lithology description: Member description taken from 2007 Long. Tempestite frequency curves: a key to Late Ordovician and Early Silurian subsidence, sea-level change, and orbital forcing in the Anticosti foreland basin, Quebec, Canada. Can. J. Earth Sci. Vol. 44, 413-431. "The Prinsta Member in its type section on the northeast coast consists of 9 m of fossiliferous laminated and nodular calcareous mudstones, with minor thin sandstone and limestone beds. At the west end of Anticosti Island, the member is 17 to 19 m thick and is dominated by highly fossiliferous subnodular to nodular thin-bedded micrites. Minor grainstones and plane to wavy laminated siltstone beds are apparent near the top of the member." | |||
