| Paleocoordinates: | 25.6° South, 2.8° East |
| Basis of coordinate: | based on nearby landmark |
| Geographic resolution: | outcrop |
Time
| Period: | Devonian | Epoch: | Early Devonian |
| Stage: | Pragian | 10 m.y. bin: | Devonian 1 |
| Key time interval: | Pragian | ||
| Age range of interval: | 410.8 - 407.6 m.y. ago |
Stratigraphy
| Stratigraphic resolution: | group of beds | ||||
| Stratigraphy comments: Undivided Siegenian, but probably Pragian according to Poschmann & Dunlop, 2011. According to Poschmann, "A lower Siegenian to lower middle Siegenian age, stratigraphically below the ‘classical’ Seifen fauna (cf. Drevermann 1904; Dahmer 1934; see Jansen 2012 for related discussion), has been assumed for a sequence near Hombach, yielding a similar facies and fossil association." | |||||
