Also known as UGKU locality 21
Where: Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany (49.9° N, 7.4° E: paleocoordinates 2.4° N, 17.8° E)
• coordinate stated in text
When: Remigiusberg Formation (Rotliegend Group), Gzhelian to Gzhelian (303.7 - 295.5 Ma)
• "The Remigiusberg quarry belongs to the continental Carboniferous–Permian Lorraine–Saar–Nahe Basin, which is one of the largest intramontane basins of the European Variscides (Schäfer, 1986)." [...] "Radioisotopic dates from volcanic tuff beds of the Remigiusberg and immediately overlying Altenglan formations suggest that the sediments exposed at the Remigiusberg quarry cover the Carboniferous–Permian boundary with a minimum age of 298.7 ± 0.4 Ma" Werneburg et al. (2024)
