Where: Greenwood County, Kansas (37.8° N, 96.4° W: paleocoordinates 2.7° S, 28.8° 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 equivalent to the Virgilian Stage.

• bed-level stratigraphic resolution
