Where: England, United Kingdom (52.6° N, 2.8° W: paleocoordinates 86.5° S, 19.7° E)

• coordinate estimated from map

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Rhombocorniculum cancellatum small shelly zone, Lower Limestone Member (Lower Comley Formation), Branchian (517.1 - 509.0 Ma)

• See Rushton (1974): The Cambrian of Wales & England, pp. 43 - 123 in Holland, C.H. The Cambrian of the British Isles, Norden and Spitzenbergen.

•

•Hinz suggests Botomian, but Siveter et al. make it clear that it should be Atdabanian.

•

•Given the zones, Branchian is most appropriate (PJW).
