Where: British Columbia, Canada (56.0° N, 123.2° W: paleocoordinates 21.7° N, 59.5° W)
• coordinate stated in text
• small collection-level geographic resolution
When: Pardonet Formation, Tuvalian (232.0 - 221.5 Ma)
• As the entire collection comes from beds in which ammonoids and conodonts are unknown, the age assignment is largely based on geographic position within rocks mapped as Pardonet Formation in close proximity to the stratigraphic contact with the Luddington Formation; most likely upper Carnian, presumably T. welleri Zone.
• bed-level stratigraphic resolution
Environment/lithology: offshore; lithified limestone
Size class: macrofossils
Preservation: recrystallized
