Where: Austria (47.6° N, 11.8° E: paleocoordinates 31.3° N, 16.4° E)
• coordinate stated in text
• small collection-level geographic resolution
When: Sagenites reticulatus zone, Hochalm,Unit2 Member (Kossen Formation), Rhaetian (208.5 - 201.3 Ma)
• Age assignment changed from Norian to Rhaetian by W. Kiessling. Following the re-definition of the Rhaetian stage by Dagys and Dagys (1994, Global correlation of the terminal Triassic: Memoires de Geologie (Lausanne), v. 22, p. 25-34) the Kossen Formation is now considered to be entirely Rhaetian in age (McRoberts pers. comm., Kiessling et al. 2007).
• group of beds-level stratigraphic resolution
