Where: British Columbia, Canada (50.5° N, 115.1° W: paleocoordinates 1.3° S, 62.9° W)

• small collection-level geographic resolution

When: lower Member (Beaverfoot-Brisco Formation), Hirnantian to Hirnantian (445.6 - 439.0 Ma)

• This collection is from 55 ft of faulted-upward beds the authors believe to be higher than the 1298 ft level (which is the highest contiguous level). Beaverfoot-Brisco name is a "mongrel" name but the best authors could do. Authors also unsure exactly of unit age, claiming "late Late Ordovician or early Llandovery."

• bed-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: marine; lithified, cherty/siliceous dolomite

Reposited in the GSC
