Loc. H-2: Nr. Old Mines, (Cambrian of the United States)

Where: Shannon County, Missouri (37.9° N, 90.8° W: paleocoordinates 22.8° S, 86.4° W)

• coordinate based on nearby landmark

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Plethopeltis Zone Member (Eminence Formation), Trempealeauan (492.5 - 485.4 Ma)

• The chert in which the fossils occur may or may not be in place stratigraphically. So, a rating of "A" through "F" indicates stratigraphi reliability with "A" = no question as to stratigraphic position of horizon and "F" = residual material of different ages. RATING: C

• formation-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: reef, buildup or bioherm; lithified, red chert

• Orange-red cherts w/ large stromatolites

Size class: macrofossils

Preservation: replaced with silica

Reposited in the USNM
