Where: Erie County, New York (42.8° N, 78.7° W: paleocoordinates 36.5° S, 26.1° W)

• coordinate based on political unit

• small collection-level geographic resolution

When: lower varcus conodont zone, Windom Shale Member (Moscow Formation), Givetian (387.7 - 382.7 Ma)

• two collections were taken from this locality A and B...the authors do not specify any additional information

• bed-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: deep subtidal shelf; burrowed, gray mudstone
