Where: Peru (15.3° S, 70.3° W: paleocoordinates 60.8° S, 88.4° W)

• coordinate stated in text

• local area-level geographic resolution

When: Lampa Formation, Helderberg (416.0 - 391.9 Ma)

• formation-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: marine; micaceous sandstone

• "200 m of yellowish-green, fine-grained Sst and shale, containing Clarkeia and Heterorthella, overlain by a well-stratified sequence of micaceous sandstone more than 400 m thick. Towards the top, these Ssts yield impressions of the Devonian Australocoelia tourteloti and Tentaculites sp."
