Western Area, Zone I (central facies), Onondaga Limestone, NY (Devonian of the United States)

Where: New York (42.9° N, 78.3° W: paleocoordinates 38.6° S, 25.4° W)

• coordinate based on political unit

When: Seneca Member (Onondaga Formation), Eifelian (393.3 - 387.7 Ma)

• group of beds-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: deep subtidal shelf; limestone

• limestone

Collection methods: in the Western area division of the author, he divides the Seneca fauna into a central facies, and a western facies; from the text, I believe the central facies is from around the central Finger Lakes area, and the western is around the Lake Erie/Buffalo area.
