Where: England, United Kingdom (52.2° N, 1.8° W: paleocoordinates 38.6° N, 1.5° E)
• coordinate based on nearby landmark
• outcrop-level geographic resolution

Preservation: mold/impression
Collected by Rev Brodie; reposited in the BMNH, USNM
Collection methods: quarrying, surface (in situ)
• Most of Brodie's material is in the BMNH, but some was given to Lacoe (collection now in the USNM)
