Where: Baden-Württemberg, Germany (48.8° N, 9.2° E: paleocoordinates 31.8° N, 10.4° E)

• coordinate based on nearby landmark

• small collection-level geographic resolution

When: Middle Stubensandstein Member (Löwenstein Formation), Norian (228.0 - 208.5 Ma)

• Stratigraphic horizon is uncertain (contra to previous authors, who reported this specimen as from the Schilfsandstein of Feuerbacher Heide), but the matrix is typical of the Middle Stubensandstein (see Milner & Schoch 2004) = Löwenstein Formation of upper Middle Keuper of early Norian age (see Deutsche Stratigraphische Kommission 2005: Cour. Forsch.-Inst. Senckenberg 253:1-296).

• bed-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: fluvial; coarse-grained, green, calcareous sandstone

Size class: macrofossils
