Where: Puebla, Mexico (19.3° N, 98.5° W: paleocoordinates 12.1° S, 47.4° W)

• coordinate based on nearby landmark

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Missourian (306.0 - 303.7 Ma)

• STRATIGRAPHIC RELATIONS: From an unnamed lithostratigra[phic unit. AGE: Late Missourian in text. STRATIGRAPHIC POSITION: From middle top of section.

• bed-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: marine; lithified limestone

• SPECIFIC LITHOLOGY: Limestone. LITHIFICATION: Lithified, on the basis of facies description and sample preparation.

Size class: macrofossils

Collection methods: bulk, hydroflouric, sieve,

• PREPARATION METHODS: The methods of extraction are similar for the three samples, and all the microfossils have been extracted by etching with 5% hydrofluoric acid. COLLECTORS: Not stated, but presumably the authors. REPOSITORY: Laboratory of Palaeozoic Palaeontology and Palaeogeography (LP3) of the university of Lille (France); the field samples are emplaced in the laboratory of geology of the UNAM (Universidad Autónoma de Mexico, Mexico).
