Where: Nunavut, Canada (81.1° N, 84.1° W: paleocoordinates 28.2° N, 0.9° E)

• coordinate stated in text

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Nansen Formation, Kasimovian (307.0 - 303.7 Ma)

• Nassichuk (1969) indicated that the locality occurs in a massive skeletal limestone, 400 feet above the base of the Hare Fiord Formation, but recent investigation has shown that a major fault occurs in the section so the thickness is unknown. At this locality, the Hare Fiord Formation interfingers with the Nansen Formation; all strata have been incorporated in the Nansen Formation.

• group of beds-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: lithified limestone

Size class: macrofossils

Collected by W.W. Nassichuk, G.R. Davies in 1972; reposited in the GSC
