Where: Yukon, Canada (65.9° N, 136.2° W: paleocoordinates 41.0° N, 23.4° W)

• coordinate stated in text

• basin-level geographic resolution

When: Tahkandit Formation, Leonardian to Leonardian (286.0 - 259.5 Ma)

• The time interval given by the authors is Leonardian and ? Guadalupian. The Permo-Pennsylvanian in the northern Yukon is ideally divided into three units called, in ascending order: Lower Limestone unit, Middle Recessive unit, and Tahkandit Formation (Nelson, 1961a, b, 1962b).

Environment/lithology: marine; shale

Size class: macrofossils

Collection methods: Authors counted brachiopods only, but listed other taxa present. Fossils were collected from one horizon in the Tahkandit Formation, but the horizon is not labeled in Text-Fig. 2 or listed elsewhere in the article.
