Locality I, abandoned barite pits two miles north of Potosi | Stinchcomb B. L. (1986) | Eminence - Plethopeltis Zone | 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 | chert | 501 - 485.4 Ma Cambrian |
