Where: Greenland (73.0° N, 23.0° W: paleocoordinates 30.0° N, 12.3° E)
• coordinate estimated from map
• basin-level geographic resolution
When: Wordie Creek Formation, Griesbachian to Griesbachian (251.9 - 251.2 Ma)
• The locality shows a transition from the upper Oksedal Member of the Schuchert Dal Formation into the base of the overlying Wordie Creek Formation.

•The Greenland P-Tr record is among the most expanded in the world.
•This area is far enough away from later igneous intrusions that it has suffered no thermal alternation, unlike other localities elsewere.
