Coils Creek L.S. (Devonian), Section V, Sample 36, N. Antelope Range, Nevada (Devonian of the United States)

Where: Eureka County, Nevada (39.2° N, 116.2° W: paleocoordinates 25.0° S, 55.2° W)

• coordinate based on nearby landmark

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: costatus zone, Coils Creek Limestone Formation, Eifelian (393.3 - 387.7 Ma)

• Johnson et. al. (1996) list this bed as "Section Prefix VH, Sample number 36, Nearest Foot: 69, Meters in Section: 21.1". It is assumed that the nearest foot and meter measurements are referenced from the base of their Section V, as shown in Figures 2 and 3.

• bed-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: slope; lithified, graded packstone and grainstone

• graded to laminated, coarse crinoidal packstone/grainstone (upper-middle slope turbidites)
