Where: England, United Kingdom (52.7° N, 1.3° W: paleocoordinates 72.9° S, 88.7° E)
• coordinate based on nearby landmark
• local area-level geographic resolution
When: Wonokan to Wonokan (580.0 - 580.0 Ma)
• The use of Ediacaran as a stage instead of an Epoch shows that the relative dating scale utilized predates the wide acceptance of Ediacaran as the second Vendian division (Harland and Harod 1975). The Woodhouse Beds lay above the Slate Agglomerate.
• group of beds-level stratigraphic resolution
