Eurypterid-Associated Biota of the Biertdag Formation, Tannu Ola, Tuva (Devonian to of Russian Federation)

Where: Russian Federation (51.5° N, 93.0° E: paleocoordinates 37.2° N, 9.8° E)

• coordinate estimated from map

• local area-level geographic resolution

When: Biertdag Formation, Lochkovian to Lochkovian (419.2 - 407.6 Ma)

• "Lochkovian or Pragian"

• formation-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: marine; gray, argillaceous shale and conglomerate

• "Krylova et al. (1967, p. 479) described the environment as 'extensive, shallow-water, salinized reservoirs'. Underlies the BA 1 fauna of the Kureika Suite. The rock types and Leperditia sound like a hypersaline, BA 1 environment"
• "Light gray, argillaceous shale, with conglomerate, siltstone, volcanics"

Size class: macrofossils
