K32/f16, f16A (Devonian of New Zealand)

Where: North Westland, New Zealand (42.6° S, 171.6° E)

• small collection-level geographic resolution

When: Emsian (407.6 - 393.3 Ma)

• IMPORTANT!!!: These localities are from float block boulders, derived via alpine-glacial activity from a source probably around 6-8 km to the WSW. The boulders are similar sediments to those known as the "Reefton Group" and the source is thought to be a faulted outlier of Reefton Gp rocks 40 km to the north.

• group of beds-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: marine; lithified, silty, calcareous sandstone

• "Locally fossiliferous quartzite, calcareouos sandstone, and siltstone."

Collection methods: Make sure you see comments on stratigraphy.
