Where: Xinjiang, China (46.8° N, 85.7° E: paleocoordinates 3.4° S, 69.4° E)
• coordinate based on political unit
• local area-level geographic resolution
When: Shaerbuer Formation, Wenlock (433.4 - 427.4 Ma)
• Except where otherwise stated, ref. 7624 uses Lower Silurian as equivalent to Llandovery, Middle Silurian as equivalent to Wenlock, and Upper Silurian as equivalent to Ludlow plus Pridoli. "This fauna was assigned a Middle Silurian, Wenlock age. The base of the formation is unexposed."
• formation-level stratigraphic resolution
Environment/lithology: marine; calcareous sandstone and limestone
