Where: Ontario, Canada (45.6° N, 74.7° W: paleocoordinates 25.6° S, 51.5° W)
• coordinate based on political unit
• outcrop-level geographic resolution
When: Hull Formation, Turinian (457.3 - 453.8 Ma)
• Hull is sometimes considered an extension of the upper Bobcaygeon. However, recent consensus is to make the Hull its own formation. The Hull overlies the Rockland and underlies the Verulam. Phragmodus undatus conodont zone (Uyeno 1974) & Diplograptus multidens graptolite zone (Dix & Al-Dulami 2011)
• formation-level stratigraphic resolution
Environment/lithology: sand shoal; lithified, shelly/skeletal grainstone
Size class: macrofossils
Reposited in the GSC
