Also known as Haine quarry; Collard et Guillaume quarry; Loc021 of van Viersen & Prescher (2010)

Where: Namur, Belgium (50.1° N, 4.5° E: paleocoordinates 25.2° S, 6.8° E)

When: enensis-hemiansatus conodont zone, Hanonet Formation, Eifelian to Eifelian (393.3 - 383.7 Ma)

• The age of the Hanonet Formation in southern Belgium is variably dominantly late Eifelian or Early Givetian due to its diachronous character. In Couvin (Couvinoise quarry), the Eifelian/Givetian boundary was identified in the basal part of this unit based on the first occurrence of the conodont P. hemiansatus.

Environment/lithology: marine; lithified, argillaceous limestone
