Outcrop 3, sample M42 (Devonian of Russian Federation)

Where: Russian Federation (53.1° N, 57.4° E: paleocoordinates 0.5° N, 18.5° E)

• coordinate estimated from map

When: sulcatus eta/ steinachensis conodont zone, Pragian (410.8 - 407.6 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).

•The lower part of the Kulamat Horizon (here it is 15 m thick) contains only few I-elements of the typical Lochkovian/Pragian boundary taxon Latericriodus steinachensis (Al-Rawi) eta morphotype Klapper & Johnson, 1980 and a few elements of Wurmiella and Pandorinellina cf. miae.

Size class: microfossils
