When: Lampa Formation, Helderberg (416.0 - 391.9 Ma)
• formation-level stratigraphic resolution
Environment/lithology: marine; micaceous sandstone
• "200 m of yellowish-green, fine-grained Sst and shale, containing Clarkeia and Heterorthella, overlain by a well-stratified sequence of micaceous sandstone more than 400 m thick. Towards the top, these Ssts yield impressions of the Devonian Australocoelia tourteloti and Tentaculites sp."
