Also known as SSF 65.24

Where: Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada (47.1° N, 55.9° W: paleocoordinates 82.5° S, 51.2° W)

• coordinate based on nearby landmark

• small collection-level geographic resolution

When: Chapel Island Formation, Tommotian (530.0 - 520.0 Ma)

• STRATIGRAPHIC RELATIONS: From Member 4 of the Chapel Island Fm, which overlies the Renconte Fm, and is overlain by the Random Fm. AGE: Unclear from Landing et al. (1989), who refers to this as post-Nemakit-Daldynian and pre-Tommotian; Watsonella crosbyi zone; here placed in Tommotian, until clearer data are available. STRATIGRAPHIC POSITION: From the Watsonella crosbyi zone, near the top of the regional section, at 156.5 m, near top of Member 4.

• bed-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: peritidal; lithified, oncoidal limestone

Size classes: macrofossils, mesofossils, microfossils

Preservation: concretion, replaced with phosphate

Reposited in the ROM

Collection methods: bulk, surface (in situ), chemical,

• COLLECTOR: Not stated, but presumably Landing et al. REPOSITORY: Royal Ontario Museum (ROM).
