Where: Italy (46.5° N, 13.3° E: paleocoordinates 11.7° S, 23.2° E)

• coordinate estimated from map

• small collection-level geographic resolution

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

• Based on lithological features, and according to the geological setting of the area, it is most likely that the specimen comes from the upper part of the Meledis Formation. The basal part of the Meledis Formation is early Kasimovian, on the basis of fusulinids (Davydov & Krainer, 1999).

• bed-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: fluvial-deltaic; lithified sandstone

Size class: macrofossils

Preservation: adpression

Collection methods: Repository: Museo Friulano di Storia Naturale, Udine
