Where: England, United Kingdom (54.6° N, 2.5° W: paleocoordinates 44.1° S, 16.3° W)
• coordinate based on nearby landmark
• outcrop-level geographic resolution
When: Paraorthograptus pacificus graptolite zone, Upper Member (Keisley Formation), Rawtheyan (448.8 - 445.2 Ma)
• The entire formation is almost exactly correlative with the Boda Limestone, and stretches from the D. complanatus zone to the M. extraordinarius zone (Rawtheyan to Hirnantian, or Ka4 - Hi1). These beds seem to be from the P. pacificus zone.
• group of beds-level stratigraphic resolution
Environment/lithology: reef, buildup or bioherm; lithified limestone
Size classes: macrofossils, mesofossils
