| Stratigraphic resolution: | group of beds | ||||
| Stratigraphy comments: "The rock in which the specimen is preserved leaves no doubt that it has come from the Ceratite Sandstone. Other specimens from the same locality point to the probability that it is the lower division of the Ceratite Sandstone which is exposed at that locality, and thus it seems most probable, that also this species forms part of the fauna contained in the lower part of this sub-division." | |||||
