Where: Western Cape, South Africa (34.2° S, 20.0° E: paleocoordinates 58.5° S, 38.7° W)

• coordinate based on nearby landmark

• small collection-level geographic resolution

When: Tapinocephalus Assemblage other zone, Beaufort Group, Capitanian (264.3 - 259.5 Ma)

• Kitching (1977, "Distribution of the Karroo Vertebrate Fauna") assigns this locality to the Tapinocephalus Zone. Radioisotopic data constrains the likely age of the Tapinocephalus Zone to Capitanian (Rubidge et al. 2013).

• group of beds-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: terrestrial; lithology not reported

Size class: macrofossils
