Where: Nova Scotia, Canada (45.7° N, 62.2° W: paleocoordinates 33.6° S, 21.8° W)

• coordinate estimated from map

• local area-level geographic resolution

When: Knoydart Formation (Arisaig Group), Lochkovian (419.2 - 410.8 Ma)

• STRATIGRAPHIC RELATIONS: From the Knoydart Fm, for which lithostratigraphic relationships are not discussed. AGE: Lower Devonian (lower Dittonian); assigned to Lochkovian on the basis of other nearby localities. STRATIGRAPHIC POSITION: From 100 ft above bed 44 of Fletcher's section (Ami, 1901), thus presumably bed 54; on conversely bed 22 of Leonard's section (Leonard, 1951). Approximately 760 ft above the lowermost exposure of the Knoydart Fm.

• formation-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: coastal; calcareous sandstone and calcareous shale

Size class: macrofossils

Collection methods: COLLECTOR: Unknown. REPOSITORY: Field Museum, Chicago.
