Where: Saxony, Germany (50.0° N, 13.6° E: paleocoordinates 6.0° N, 23.1° E)

• coordinate based on nearby landmark

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Niederhaslich limestone Member (Niederhaslich-Schweinsdorf Formation), Sakmarian (293.5 - 290.1 Ma)

• "The Niederhäslich Formation belongs stratigraphically [...] to the Melanerpeton gracile-M. pulcherimus Zone, i. e. uppermost Unterrotliegend" (U. Hoffman, 2002, Workshop „Oberkarbon - Untertrias in Zentraleuropa: Prozesse und ihr Timing“ [online] http://www.geo.tu-freiberg.de/palaeo/GeoTage-2002.pdf) (TL);

•the Niederhäslich limestone is Asselian according to assorted references, e.g., Gebhardt and Schneider 1993 (JA)

•According to Roscher & Schneider (2006, in Lucas et al. (eds), Geol. Soc. Spec. Publ. 265) the Niederhäslich Fm. is Sakmarian in age (TL).
