Bayinburuk Fm., Upper Limestone, Nalate Mts., west-central Xinjiang Prov. | Mu E.-z., Boucot A. J., et al (1986) | Bayinburuk | 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. "The presence of Squameofavosites suggests a Ludlow-Pridoli age [for the lower part of formation from which fossils come]." The correlation chart confines this formation as a whole to Upper Silurian, but upper limit of it is indicated as uncertain. | "siliciclastic" | 427.4 - 419.2 Ma Paleozoic |
