Where: France (48.0° N, 2.0° E: paleocoordinates 50.4° S, 43.2° E)
• coordinate estimated from map
• local area-level geographic resolution
When: Grès à Orthis monnieri Formation, Lochkovian (419.2 - 410.8 Ma)
• Aspect of fauna said to similar to Upper Gedinnian and Lower Siegenian faunas elsewhere. Fauna similar to Carazo Formation of Palencia, N. Spain. Overall, author finds Upper Gedinnian age to be more likely than Lower Siegenian.
• formation-level stratigraphic resolution
