Goniatite zone G1, Loc. 366, Frasnian, Canning Basin (Devonian of Australia)

Where: Western Australia, Australia (18.5° S, 126.0° E: paleocoordinates 19.3° S, 127.1° E)

• coordinate estimated from map

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Virgin Hills Formation, Frasnian (382.7 - 372.2 Ma)

• Mesobeloceras housei regional zone.

• group of beds-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: marine; red limestone and red sandstone

• Marginal slope and basin facies of the reef complex.
• From ref. 10549: "The V.H. Fm. is typically red and consits of calcarenite, calcirudite, and megabreccia with interbedded sandstone, siltstone and conglomerate; clastic sediments become more common in the basin facies."
