Where: Livingston County, New York (42.8° N, 77.8° W: paleocoordinates 36.7° S, 25.4° W)

• coordinate based on nearby landmark

• small collection-level geographic resolution

When: Centerfield Member (Ludlowville Formation), Givetian (387.7 - 382.7 Ma)

• this horizon is within the upper transitional shales of the Wheeler Gully submember of the Centerfield

• bed-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: transition zone or lower shoreface; gray claystone

Collection methods: bulk, surface (in situ), chemical, mechanical,

• horizons 26 and 27 were combined because "they were difficult to sample".
