Where: Nova Scotia, Canada (45.4° N, 63.0° W: paleocoordinates 8.4° S, 6.2° W)

• coordinate based on nearby landmark

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Parrsboro Formation, Westphalian A (318.7 - 316.9 Ma)

• Exact location of the third cutting is uncertain, but given the trace of the old railway line it is very likely within an area mapped as the Parrsboro Formation.

• group of beds-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: fluvial-lacustrine; lithified shale

Size class: macrofossils
