Where: Schoharie County, New York (42.4° N, 74.5° W: paleocoordinates 37.7° S, 22.4° W)

• coordinate estimated from map

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Manorkill shale and sandstone Member (Moscow Formation), Givetian (387.7 - 382.7 Ma)

• group of beds-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: terrestrial; sandstone and shale

Size class: macrofossils

Preservation: adpression, replaced with carbon

Collection methods: mechanical,

• Fairon-Demaret: Preservation of the specimens did not permit Grierson and Banks (1963) to discover the morphology of the whole lamina. The present study provides detail of the entire lamina. The block of sandstone used in this study bears Cornell University Paleobotanical Collection type number 213.
