Locality B, GSC locality 79412 (Permian of Canada)

Where: British Columbia, Canada (59.1° N, 133.0° W: paleocoordinates 31.1° N, 49.9° W)

• coordinate stated in text

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Horsefeed Formation (Cache Creek Group), Wordian (266.9 - 264.3 Ma)

• from upper part of unit

• formation-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: open shallow subtidal; lithified, cherty/siliceous grainstone

• environmental call is tentatively based on taphonomic/lithologic data provided; may be deep subtidal or shoal
• ammonoids occur in tightly bound bioclastic (fusulinid,crinoidal, algal) grainstone; slightly silicified; fusulinid and ammonoid clasts are generally fragmented and appear to have been transported and/or reworked at least locally

Size class: macrofossils

Reposited in the GSC, SUI
