Where: Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany (49.5° N, 7.2° E: paleocoordinates 3.0° N, 18.4° E)
• coordinate based on nearby landmark
• outcrop-level geographic resolution
When: Meisenheim Formation, Asselian (298.9 - 295.5 Ma)
• Stratigraphically, this lake horizon is situated at the top of the Meisenheim Formation (= top of the Odernheim Subformation), which is part of the Glan Subgroup within the Rotliegend Group (= Lower Dyas Group). One important tuff marker horizon, the Pappelberg Tuff, which is slightly older than the Humberg lake sediments, has yielded a 206Pb/238U age of 297.0 ± 3.2 Ma.
• bed-level stratigraphic resolution
Environment/lithology: lacustrine; lithified shale
Size classes: macrofossils, mesofossils
Preservation: mold/impression
Collection methods: Repository: not stated (possibly Freiberg or Schneider collection)
