Where: Elko County, Nevada (41.4° N, 114.7° W: paleocoordinates 12.1° N, 38.0° W)

• coordinate stated in text

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Thaynes Group, Smithian (251.3 - 247.2 Ma)

• Conodonts or ammonoids have not been detected in the matrix surrounding P-66225, but a similar age as P-77117 is likely. P-77117 was found at the most prolific ammonoid locality together with Pseudaspidites, Procurvoceratites, proptychitid indet., and prionitid indet., which, combined with I. oweni, indicate a late early Smithian to early late Smithian age.

• bed-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: marine; lithified limestone

Size class: macrofossils

Reposited in the NMMNH
