Where: Bayern, Germany (50.1° N, 11.6° E: paleocoordinates 17.6° N, 18.1° E)
• coordinate stated in text
• small collection-level geographic resolution
When: enodis-laevigatus zone, Muschelkalk Group, Fassanian to Fassanian (242.0 - 235.0 Ma)
• "The profile opens approximately l6 meters of Upper Muschelkalk from deep spinosus-up to high nodosus-zone. The fossil was discovered after a spraying in a Schillkalkbank in the middle area enodis/laevigatus-zone. Therefore, it has a
•chronostratigraphic age of Lower Ladinian (Fassanian/Longobardian)."
• bed-level stratigraphic resolution
Environment/lithology: marine; nodular, shelly/skeletal limestone
Size class: macrofossils
Preservation: concretion
