Where: Eastern Cape, South Africa (31.9° S, 24.4° E: paleocoordinates 62.9° S, 27.9° W)

• coordinate based on political unit

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Daptocephalus Assemblage zone, Balfour Formation (Beaufort Group), Wuchiapingian to Wuchiapingian (259.9 - 252.2 Ma)

• Daptocephalus Assemblage Zone (Gow, 1972), equivalent to the Dicynodon Assemblage Zone. Geographic and stratigraphic data suggest that the locality is in the Balfour Formation of the Beaufort Group (see Catuneanu et al., 2005, J. Afr. Earth Sci., 43, figs. 24, 25). Recent radioistopic dating (Rubidge et al. 2013) suggests Wuchiapingian-Changhsingian age for the Daptocephalus AZ.
