Where: Turkey (41.0° N, 31.0° E: paleocoordinates 41.0° N, 31.0° E)
• coordinate based on nearby landmark
When: Carboniferous (358.9 - 298.9 Ma)
Environment/lithology: sandstone
Preservation: mold/impression
Collection methods: The entire formation is a dominantly sandy succession with subordinate shales, pebbly units, and thick coals. Basal part of the formation i s characterized by lacustrine depostis, while the upper parts comprises sequences formed by meandering low sinuosity streams. The coals closely resembles those of the later Westphalian coals of northwestern Europe.
