Data for: Facies, phosphate, and fossil preservation potential across a Lower Cambrian carbonate shelf, Arrowie Basin, South Australia

This datasheet contains the raw abundance of small shelly fossil faunas from a lower Cambrian carbonate succession in the Arrowie Basin (MOG section; see Betts et al. 2014, 2017). In total, 3,936 individual skeletal elements from 45 taxa and 67 samples were picked from acid residues from the MOG section. A total of 57 oriented rock samples were also collected and from this 12 microfacies identified. Using microfacies in concert with field observations, we interpret 6 depositional Facies Sequences (FS).

本数据表收录了来自阿罗伊盆地（MOG剖面；参见Betts等，2014，2017年）下寒武统碳酸盐岩地层中小壳化石群类的原始丰度。总计，从MOG剖面酸化残留物中挑选出45个物种的3,936个个体骨骼元素和67个样本。此外，还收集了总共57个定向岩石样本，从中识别出12个微相。通过结合微相与实地观察，我们解读了6个沉积相序（FS）。
