Where: Russian Federation (64.0° N, 147.2° E: paleocoordinates 16.0° N, 10.4° W)

• coordinate estimated from map

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Akidograptus ascensus graptolite zone, R Member (Maut Formation), Rhuddanian (443.4 - 440.8 Ma)

• Bed R73. Not clear if this is the very latest Hirnantian or the very earliest Rhuddanian. PJW: No, past-me, it is Rhuddanian.... ;-) Dapsilodus obliquicostatus - Distomodus kentuckyensis conodont zone. Was Chalmak, but now Maut, which overlies the Tirekhtyakh Formation and underlies the Sandagun Formation. "R member"

• bed-level stratigraphic resolution
