• Boundary between Gebbie Formation and Tiverton Formation is controversial, but best placed at base of Wall Sandstone Member - fossil locality is then in the upper Tiverton Formation.

• group of beds-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: marine; lithified, fine-grained sandstone and lithified siltstone

• Fine sandstone, with layers of coarse sandstone and dense black siltstone.

Size class: macrofossils

Preservation: cast, mold/impression
