Locality Description
"Khaing Zin Phyu (pers. comm. 2008) identified the brachiopods Paucicrura rogata, Paucicrura sp. and Trematorthis sp. Paucicrura rogata is an American late Middle Ordovician (Sandbian) species and is found in the upperpart of the Wunbye Formation, suggesting that the formation is of Darriwilian–Sandbian age. The sediments and sedimentary structures found commonly in the Wunbye Formation, such as cross-laminations, ripple marks, abundant pellets, intraclasts, bioclasts, horizontal burrows, high fossil diversity and high faunal content, are indicators of a subtidal environment of deposition. An extremely shallow-marine environment is suggested by the presence of the receptaculitid Isherites burmensis Rietschel & Nitecki."
