Round Green open cast mine, Barnsley (GLAHM coll.) (Carboniferous of the United Kingdom)

Where: Yorkshire, United Kingdom (53.5° N, 1.5° W: paleocoordinates 0.5° N, 8.3° E)

• coordinate based on nearby landmark

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Westphalian B (316.9 - 314.6 Ma)

• Above the Barnsley Coal, similis-pulchra zone (Westphalian B according to Prokop et al., 2018)

• Pennine Basin. The extensional tectonics of the early Carboniferous had been superseded by a phase of thermal subsidence, caused by the cooling of the asthenosphere beneath tectonically thinned lithosphere.
