Where: Nei Mongol, China (45.6° N, 116.8° E)

• Paleocoordinates: 76.2° N, 30.6° E (Wright 2013)

• coordinate based on political unit

• local area-level geographic resolution

When: Barantanhua Formation, Lochkovian to Lochkovian (419.2 - 407.6 Ma)

• Lower part of formation. "Dr. Su...reported this community from the lower part of the Barantanhua Formation of probably Siegenian age; a Gedinnian age cannot be ruled out on the basis of the available evidence."

• member-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: marine; argillaceous mudstone
