Where: High Atlas, Morocco (30.8° N, 6.6° W: paleocoordinates 65.1° S, 114.3° E)

• coordinate based on nearby landmark

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Hupeolenus trilobite zone, Tatelt Formation, Amgan (510.2 - 504.5 Ma)

• lower Agdzian; uppermost Hupeolenus biozone; authors suggest latest Toyonian, but earliest Amgan seems more appropriate. Was put in Jbel Wawrmast formation,but Tatelt formation seems more appropriate given Hupeolenus zone.

• group of beds-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: lithified limestone

Size classes: macrofossils, mesofossils
