Where: Janoobiah, Jordan (31.8° N, 35.6° E: paleocoordinates 13.7° S, 35.9° E)
• coordinate estimated from map
• local area-level geographic resolution
When: Olenekian to Olenekian (251.2 - 242.0 Ma)
• Originally described as Carnian based on comparison of faunal composition with Raibl and Lettenkohle (Cox 1924), but some uncertainty expressed in this age subsequently, particularly due to the presence of Beneckeia (Cox 1932). Subsequent biochronological work has indicated an Olenekian-Anisian age for this section (Druckman 1974).
• group of beds-level stratigraphic resolution
Environment/lithology: marine; limestone
Size class: macrofossils
Collection methods: "All the fossils referred to in the description have been presented to the Geological Department of the British Museum" (Cox 1924)
