Brick Pile Section A, BIS33, 120-130m (Triassic of the United States)

Where: Nye County, Nevada (38.9° N, 117.6° W: paleocoordinates 10.4° N, 46.4° W)

• coordinate stated in text

• small collection-level geographic resolution

When: Klamathites macrolobatus ammonoid zone, Luning Formation, Kaihikuan (238.0 - 227.5 Ma)

• uppermost Carnian Macrolobatus Zone - the lowermost Norian Kerri Zone.

• bed-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: open shallow subtidal; lithified, nodular, silty limestone

• "part of a sequence of nodular and wavy bedded, discontinuously cross-stratified, organic-rich, silty and shaly limestones"; "The Luning Formation in the Shoshone Mountains consists of basal chert pebble conglomerates and sandstones, overlain by a series of highly organic carbonate-rich shales and silty limestones, and capped by comparatively pure limestone and dolomite."

Size classes: macrofossils, mesofossils, microfossils
