Where: Germany (50.6° N, 7.5° E: paleocoordinates 25.6° S, 2.8° E)

• coordinate based on nearby landmark

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Pragian (410.8 - 407.6 Ma)

• Undivided Siegenian, but probably Pragian according to Poschmann & Dunlop, 2011. According to Poschmann, "A lower Siegenian to lower middle Siegenian age, stratigraphically below the ‘classical’ Seifen fauna (cf. Drevermann 1904; Dahmer 1934; see Jansen 2012 for related discussion), has been assumed for a sequence near Hombach, yielding a similar facies and fossil association."

• group of beds-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: estuary or bay; lithified, gray, muddy siltstone

Size class: macrofossils

Preservation: adpression
