Where: Nordrhein-Westfalen, Germany (51.3° N, 7.1° E: paleocoordinates 15.7° S, 5.2° E)

• coordinate based on nearby landmark

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Etroeungt Formation, Late/Upper Famennian (364.7 - 360.7 Ma)

• Bed 71n; Given as Hemberg C2 beds; However, Amler et al. (1993) indicate that this is Etroeungt

• bed-level stratigraphic resolution
