Celles (Carboniferous of Belgium)

Where: Belgium (50.0° N, 4.0° E: paleocoordinates 13.5° S, 4.5° E)

When: Waulsort Formation, Ivorian (353.8 - 346.7 Ma)

• Late Tournaisian; PJW: originally given as "Carboniferous Limestone" but it should be either Waulsort or [Yvoir, Ourthe or Leffe] given Brenkle & Hance 2005 (Rivista Italiana di Paleontologia e Stratigrafia 1111(2):197-214). I am going with Waulsort because Hahn & Hahn (1988) call it Waulsortian.

• formation-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: lithified limestone

Size class: macrofossils

Collection methods: trilobites only
