Where: Nunavut, Canada (73.5° N, 100.6° W: paleocoordinates 5.3° S, 24.0° W)
• coordinate estimated from map
• outcrop-level geographic resolution
When: Drake Bay Formation, Eifelian to Eifelian (393.3 - 382.7 Ma)
• Unnamed formation, "probably partly correlative witht he Blue Fiord Formation" (which he assigns an age of Eifelian through Givetian). "Unit n" [from bottom] is my terminology, not Ormiston's. Unit is 3 feet thick. PJW: This should be Drake Bay formation.
