Where: Seminole County, Oklahoma (34.9° N, 96.7° W: paleocoordinates 5.0° S, 30.5° W)
• coordinate based on nearby landmark
• small collection-level geographic resolution
When: Ada Formation, Virgilian (303.7 - 298.9 Ma)
• from a "single stratigraphic horizon... 22.4 m above the contact" with the "underlying Vamoosa Formation"
• bed-level stratigraphic resolution
Environment/lithology: coarse channel fill; gray mudstone
Size class: macrofossils
Collection methods: quarrying, surface (float), sieve,
• All of the in situ specimens recovered from the locality were found within a single stratigraphic horizon stretching approximately 11 m along the face of the outcrop. Screenwashing of 40 kg of sediment recovered "very little additional material"
