The basal Cambrian Stage 2 strata of the Olenek Uplift host diverse assemblages of macroscopic fossils, which closely resemble certain small skeletal taxa early reported from this section and typical for the Terreneuvian Epoch. Herein studied macroscopic assemblage includes helcionellid, stenothecid...
