Where: Libya (28.1° N, 13.0° E: paleocoordinates 45.6° S, 30.1° E)

• coordinate estimated from map

• local area-level geographic resolution

When: Aouinet Ouenine III Formation, Frasnian (382.7 - 372.2 Ma)

• Formation said to be "Frasnian s.l.". Top of formation contains nodular limestone with conodonts that indicate Frasnian-Famennian transition. This sample interpreted as upper Frasnian, on basis of occurrence of Uniconus livnensis and Alternatus sp. in overlying sediments.

• bed-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: marine; burrowed, ferruginous sandstone and claystone

Collection methods: Focus of monograph is brachiopods and bivalves, but other elements are sometimes mentioned in passing.
