Where: New York (44.3° N, 74.2° W: paleocoordinates 39.2° S, 24.2° W)

• coordinate estimated from map

• local area-level geographic resolution

When: Coeymans Limestone Formation, Helderbergian (419.2 - 393.3 Ma)

• formation-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: shallow subtidal; gray grainstone

• 2003:05:03 SEP environmental call based on given description and other Coeymans samples
