Where: Scotland, United Kingdom (56.6° N, 2.7° W)

• Paleocoordinates: 4.9° S, 43.7° W (Wright 2013)

• coordinate based on nearby landmark

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: micrornatus–newportensis pollen zone, Dundee Flagstone Formation (Arbuthnott-Garvock Group), Lochkovian (419.2 - 410.8 Ma)

• Spore assemblages from the Arbuthnott group were originally thought to indicate an early Pragian age (e.g., Richardson, 1967; Holland and Richardson, 1977), however, these are now considered to belong within the micrornatus–newportensis Spore Assemblage Biozone, indicating an early Lochkovian age (Richardson et al., 1984; Wellman, 1993; Lavender and Wellman, 2002).

• bed-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: fluvial; lithified siliciclastic sediments

Size class: macrofossils

Preservation: mold/impression

Collection methods: Repository: National Museums of Scotland, Edinburgh (NMS)
