Where: Aragon, Spain (41.1° N, 1.1° W: paleocoordinates 37.7° S, 24.9° E)

• coordinate based on nearby landmark

• local area-level geographic resolution

When: Cabezo Agudo Formation, Givetian (387.7 - 382.7 Ma)

• formation-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: marine; sandy shale and sandstone

• "The middle and upper parts...are essentially an alternation of arenaceous shales with sandstones and quartzites and several fossiliferous horizons of calcareous sandstones...The sand coarsens upwards and all faunas are of Rhenish type..."
