Where: Menard County, Texas (30.9° N, 99.5° W: paleocoordinates 19.4° S, 90.6° W)

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Rossodus manitouensis conodont zone, Tanyard Formation (Ellenburger Group), Gasconadian (485.4 - 477.7 Ma)

• Originally given as lower Ellenburger formation, but this is now known as the Tanyard. This is now Skullrockian, but as this overlaps with the latest Cambrian, I'm keeping Gasconade.

•Tribes Hill equivalent?

• formation-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: white limestone

Size class: macrofossils
