Where: Greenland (74.2° N, 22.4° W: paleocoordinates 31.2° N, 12.1° E)

• coordinate based on nearby landmark

• small collection-level geographic resolution

When: Wordie Creek Formation, Griesbachian (251.9 - 250.5 Ma)

• Placed in the former Otoceras beds. This level corresponds to the interval from Hypophiceras martini to Metophiceras subdemissum zone (lowermost upper Griesbachian) in the stratigraphic scheme of Bjerager et al. (2006) and occurs near the base of the Wordie Creek Formation only few metres above the presumed Permian-Triassic boundary. Fish zone 2 of Nielsen (1935).

• group of beds-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: marine; lithified, concretionary mudstone

Size class: macrofossils

Preservation: adpression

Collected by E. Nielsen in 1933
