Where: Northern Ireland, United Kingdom (54.6° N, 6.6° W: paleocoordinates 19.1° S, 27.1° W)
• coordinate based on nearby landmark
• small collection-level geographic resolution
When: Killey Bridge Formation, Cautleyan (449.2 - 448.8 Ma)
• Was Bardahessiagh (Well Field); However, I think that it really should be Killey Bridge given that most things from Desertcreat are put in the Killey Bridge in later publications.
• member-level stratigraphic resolution
Environment/lithology: coastal; fine-grained, micaceous, gray sandstone
Size class: macrofossils
Preservation: cast
Reposited in the BMNH
