Magoffin marine invertebrates (Carboniferous of the United States)
Where: Kentucky (37.3° N, 83.2° W: paleocoordinates 10.5° S, 22.0° W)
• coordinate based on nearby landmark
• local area-level geographic resolution
When: Magoffin Member (Four Corners Formation), Moscovian (315.2 - 307.0 Ma)
Environment/lithology: delta front; lithified, calcareous shale and lithified, bioturbated siltstone
• Delta front to prodelta
• Transgressive Facies: thin and widespread. coal or carbonaceous shale, rooted, plus limestone and shale. Lobe-building Facies: Distal splay or distributary mouth bar, overlying transgressive facies, coarsening upward, thinly bedded and burrowed siliciclastics nearly devoid of macrofauna. Bayfill Facies: gradationally overlies transgressive facies, laterally equivalent to lobe-building facies. Begins with shales with banded ironstones, coarsens upward, silty shale with limestone concretions, capped by siltstone and sandstone.
Size class: macrofossils
Preservation: mold/impression
