Where: Washington County, Virginia (36.8° N, 82.3° W: paleocoordinates 19.9° S, 30.6° W)

• coordinate stated in text

• local area-level geographic resolution

When: Little Valley Formation, Meramecian (343.0 - 335.5 Ma)

• On Geolex page, Little Valley was assigned as member of the Greenbrier Fm. by Nolde, 1994, and listed as Meramecian age. The Greenbrier is assigned to the Meramecian - Chesterian age, thus I decided that the Little Valley is probably Late Meramec (= Holkerian - Asbian).

• formation-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: shallow subtidal; lithified, ooidal, argillaceous, sandy, cherty/siliceous limestone and shale
