Where: Aragon, Spain (41.1° N, 1.1° W: paleocoordinates 44.6° S, 34.1° E)

• coordinate based on nearby landmark

• basin-level geographic resolution

When: Pena Negra Formation, Late/Upper Emsian (402.5 - 391.9 Ma)

• "final Upper Emsian"

• formation-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: marine; bioturbated, sandy shale and shelly/skeletal, sandy limestone

• "begins with 2m of slightly arenaceous lumachellic limestone...these carbonates are the bases of minor rhythmothems following abruptly coarser sandstones...Arenaceous shales with bioturbation prevail..."
