Where: United Kingdom (55.6° N, 4.5° W: paleocoordinates 2.3° N, 6.2° E)

• coordinate estimated from map

When: Westphalian B (316.9 - 314.6 Ma)

• Found in ironstone nodules in a bed of shale up to 1 m thick, immediately above a worked bed of sandstone that lies immediately above the Darroch Coal seam (Craig 1900; Anderson 1925; Richey et al. 1930). Although marine bands do not occur in this area, the Darroch Coal lies about 78 m below the base of the Barren Red Measures, between the Major Coal and Hurlford Main Coal seams, within the Middle Coal Measures (Richey et al. 1930, p. 229; Cameron & Stephenson 1985), and therefore Westphalian B in age.

Environment/lithology: delta plain; lithified, ferruginous, nodular, sandy shale

Size class: macrofossils

Preservation: mold/impression
