Where: Oregon (44.0° N, 119.5° W: paleocoordinates 3.8° N, 49.5° W)

• coordinate stated in text

• hand sample-level geographic resolution

When: Visean (346.7 - 330.9 Ma)

• Cobble in Brisbois Member of Vester Formation. Brisbois Member is dated as Carnian by rare ammonoids but cobbles have Carboniferous or Permian ages. Siphonodendron is often Visean, but the age here is uncertain because of its provenance in an isolated cobble.

• bed-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: lithified limestone

Size class: macrofossils

Reposited in the UCMP, USNM

• Slides of all holotypes are housed in the collections of the U.S. National Museum and bear a USNM number as well as a C number. Slides of other figured specimens, as well as all samples including the holotypes, are retained in the University of California Museum of Paleontology at Berkeley.
