Where: Tomás Frías, Bolivia (19.5° S, 65.9° W: paleocoordinates 43.7° S, 128.8° W)
• coordinate estimated from map
• local area-level geographic resolution
When: San Benito Formation, Caradoc (458.4 - 449.5 Ma)
• Formerly called Zapla or Zapla Tillites; PJW: Re-identified as Cancaniri initially, but although that is contemporaneous with the Zapla, it's too young. This probably is San Benito.
• formation-level stratigraphic resolution
Environment/lithology: foreshore; lithified, pebbly, argillaceous sandstone
Size class: macrofossils
Preservation: cast
Collection methods: JA: marked by Novack-Gottshall without explanation as omitting some genera, some macrofossils, some microfossils, and species names, but apparently complete
