Where: Anti-Atlas, Morocco (30.6° N, 5.1° W: paleocoordinates 80.1° S, 100.0° E)

• coordinate based on nearby landmark

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Didymograptus murchisoni graptolite zone, Taddrist Formation, Darriwilian (467.3 - 458.4 Ma)

• PJW: Was initially entered as Lower Ktaoua formation, Assif bou Zeggarh member ("From lowest member of Lower Ktaoua formation"). However, the paper states Taddrist. (The age and graptolite zones both were appropriate for Taddrist and as the paper states.)

• member-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: offshore shelf; concretionary, silty siderite and lithified siltstone

Size class: macrofossils

Preservation: concretion, replaced with siderite
