Where: Scotland, United Kingdom (55.8° N, 4.2° W: paleocoordinates 2.2° S, 2.0° E)

• coordinate based on nearby landmark

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Brigantian (336.0 - 330.9 Ma)

• There are four Hosie Limestone horizons (Main, Mid, Second and Top) in the Lower Limestone Formation of Visean (Brigantian) age (Clough et al. 1925; Hall et al. 1998); however, the specimen is preserved in a dark grey shale so probably came from a bed in between.
