Where: Alabama (33.5° N, 86.9° W: paleocoordinates 13.8° S, 27.8° W)
• coordinate based on nearby landmark
• outcrop-level geographic resolution
When: Pottsville Formation, Westphalian A (318.1 - 314.6 Ma)
• Middle Pottsville. Palynomorph and marine invertebrates suggest that strata from the Black Creek through Brookwood coal zones are of Langsettian age (Eble and Gillespie, 1989), although macroflora may suggest that some strata are of Duckmantian age (Lyons and others, 1985).
• group of beds-level stratigraphic resolution
Environment/lithology: deltaic; lithified siliciclastic sediments
Size class: macrofossils
Preservation: mold/impression
