Where: Afghanistan (33.5° N, 67.6° E: paleocoordinates 33.8° S, 83.2° E)

• coordinate based on nearby landmark

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Early crenulata conodont zone, Ivorian (353.8 - 346.7 Ma)

• Stratum typicum given as "Etroeungt" or Strunian (now uppermost Fammenian but formerly used to describe transitional Famennian-Tournaisian strata) The associated Central Afghanistan conodonts Polygnathus inornatus, P. symmetricus, Bispathodus spinulicostatus, B. stabilis-listed in Plodowski (1970, p. 12–13)-indicate the mid-Tournaisian Early crenulata Zone.

• group of beds-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: marine; lithified lithology not reported

Size class: macrofossils
