Where: Savoie, France (45.3° N, 6.7° E: paleocoordinates 23.5° N, 12.0° E)
• coordinate estimated from map
• local area-level geographic resolution
When: Ladinian to Ladinian (242.0 - 208.5 Ma)
• "lad-karn" (p. 295), but "Keuper" (pp. 34, 295) and "It's plant assemblage is comparable with the plant assemblage of the Schilfsandstein of Sud Deutsche Senke" (p. 34).
