The Sinsk Formation is a geologic formation in Russia. It preserves fossils dating back to the Cambrian period. It notably contained the Sinsk Algal Lens, a Lagerstätte with numerous unique genera like Siberion.[1] However, the Sinsk Algal Lens has largely been destroyed by commercial fossil collectors.[2]
