Where: Nemaha County, Kansas (39.9° N, 95.9° W: paleocoordinates 1.1° S, 27.3° W)

• coordinate based on political unit

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Falls City Limestone Formation (Admire Group), Noginskian (301.2 - 300.1 Ma)

•The Noginskian Stage is reported as being equivalent to the Virgilian Stage.
