Where: Washington County, Virginia (36.8° N, 82.3° W: paleocoordinates 16.2° S, 26.7° W)

• coordinate stated in text

• local area-level geographic resolution

When: Gasper Limestone Formation, Chesterian (335.5 - 323.2 Ma)

• The authors state the Fido is early Chester. Thus I decided that the Fido is probably Brigantian age.

• formation-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: transition zone or lower shoreface; lithified, shelly/skeletal, brown, red, calcareous sandstone and gray, red, argillaceous limestone
