Where: Friuli-Venezia Giulia, Italy (46.4° N, 12.6° E: paleocoordinates 26.5° N, 15.9° E)
• coordinate estimated from map
• small collection-level geographic resolution
When: Dolomia di Forni Formation, Alaunian (215.6 - 212.0 Ma)
• "lower-middle part of the Dolomia di Forni. Dated to Alaunian 3 (middle Norian) on the basis of the conodont fauna"
•Dolmomia di Forni "spans the Alaunian 2 - Sevatian 1 interval"; middle-late Norian (Dalla Vecchia 2006)
• bed-level stratigraphic resolution
Environment/lithology: basinal (); dolomite
•"The Dolomia di Forni is composed mainly of dark, often cherty, well-bedded dolostone that is frequently thinly laminated and sometimes slumped. Thicker laminae are graded and represent distal turbidites...the basinal facies preserving the tetrapod remains are composed mainly of distal turbidites and carbonate mud deposited by fallout"
