Also known as Reef 3885

Where: Russian Federation (54.3° N, 85.9° E: paleocoordinates 30.7° N, 17.5° E)

• coordinate based on political unit

• local area-level geographic resolution

When: Lower Shanda Beds Member (Shanda Horizon Formation), Late/Upper Emsian (402.5 - 391.9 Ma)

• Here are the subdivisions of the Telengitian Stage in type locality. Authors correlate stage roughly with Emsian, but note that the Salairka Horizon is said to correlate with the dehiscens Zone, which, according to Harland et al. 1990 is Pragian.

•JA: originally entered as Emsian; the serotinus zone is late Emsian
