Where: Parana, Brazil (25.4° S, 50.4° W: paleocoordinates 82.5° S, 120.8° W)
• coordinate based on nearby landmark
• local area-level geographic resolution
When: Sao Domingos Member (Ponta Grossa Formation), Eifelian to Eifelian (393.3 - 382.7 Ma)
• Geographic and stratigraphic context, as well as Melo's discussion, suggest that this is the Sao Domingos member. I am using more common formation name (Ponta Grossa) rather than Melo's Santa Rosa Fm.
• member-level stratigraphic resolution
Environment/lithology: marine; shale
