Outcrop 3, sample M40a (Devonian of Russian Federation)

Where: Russian Federation (53.1° N, 57.4° E)

• Paleocoordinates: 24.4° N, 22.2° W (Wright 2013)

• coordinate estimated from map

When: sulcatus eta/ steinachensis conodont zone, Pragian (413.0 - 410.6 Ma)

• Outcrop 3 represents a transition from the Lochkovian Sherlubai Horizon and the Pragian Kulamat Horizon.

Environment/lithology: lithified limestone

• The lithostratigraphic boundary between Sherlubai and Kulamat is directly above and is marked by the onset of thick layered dolomitized limestones with relicts of bioclasts. At the base of dolomitized limestones is a thin layer of black folded shale (0.05–0.5 m).

Size class: microfossils
