Where: New York (43.1° N, 79.0° W: paleocoordinates 24.3° S, 50.6° W)
When: HICE other zone, Upper Member (Whirlpool Formation), Hirnantian (445.2 - 443.4 Ma)
• Although Hercochitina crickmayi is found there, the HICE isotopic excursion also is documented in the Whirlpool. This indicates a Hirnantian age.
• bed-level stratigraphic resolution
Environment/lithology: marine; siltstone
Size classes: macrofossils, microfossils
