Where: Iowa (42.1° N, 91.1° W: paleocoordinates 20.1° S, 56.7° W)
• coordinate estimated from map
When: Pterospathodus celloni conodont zone, LaPorte City Formation, Llandovery (443.4 - 433.4 Ma)
• Sample (m) 1,34-1,54
Environment/lithology: lithified, cherty/siliceous limestone
•The BCQ is exposed at the base of the DX5 outcrop and is a bio-dolo-wackestone with occasional chert nodules. The base of the LPC is marked by thinly bedded chert, overlain by a bed of slightly dolomitized crinoidal wackestone with chert nodules (Figure 6).
