Where: Lyon County, Kansas (38.7° N, 96.1° W: paleocoordinates 2.1° S, 28.1° W)
• coordinate based on nearby landmark
• outcrop-level geographic resolution
When: Aspinwall Limestone Member (Onaga Shale Formation), Noginskian (301.2 - 300.1 Ma)
• The authors place the Aspinwall LS in the Permian, but more recent data indicates it is late Carboniferous.
•Noginskian stage is reported as equivalent to Virgilian stage.
• member-level stratigraphic resolution
Environment/lithology: marine; limestone
