Feltrim Hill, Waulsortian buildup, main reef limestone (Carboniferous to of Ireland)

Also known as Reef 437

Where: Ireland (53.4° N, 6.2° W: paleocoordinates 11.4° S, 2.6° W)

• coordinate based on nearby landmark

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Caninia other zone, Feltrim Formation, Ivorian to Ivorian (353.8 - 340.0 Ma)

• Late Courceyan, Lower Caninia Zone; PJW: Caninia is younger than Courceyan; late Courceyan is Ivorian & Caninia is Chadian.

• group of beds-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: reef, buildup or bioherm; lithified limestone

• The reef core itself is almost devoid of fossils apart from fenestrate bryozoans. Fossils occur outside and away from the reef core and are sporadically scattered, and only rarely as pocket accumulations.

Size class: macrofossils

Collection methods: quarrying,
