Where: Nelson, New Zealand (40.8° S, 172.7° E: paleocoordinates 75.9° S, 178.5° W)

• coordinate based on nearby landmark

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Flowers Formation (Parapara Group), Wordian (266.9 - 264.3 Ma)

• Collected from float boulders in the stream, estimated to be 3-4 miles from source - therefore cannot estimate stratigraphic position. Upper Braxtonian local stage = Wordian Stage.

• formation-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: marine; lithified lithology not reported

Size class: macrofossils
