• Formation spans much of Lower Devonian. Samples interpreted as Emsian on basis of Styliolina uralica in a close level (sample UB331).

• group of beds-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: marine; sandstone and shale

Collection methods: Emphasis of monograph is brachiopods and bivalves. Other elements sometimes mentioned as well.
