Where: Iran (30.9° N, 53.2° E: paleocoordinates 3.5° N, 41.0° E)
• coordinate estimated from map
• outcrop-level geographic resolution
When: Nayband Formation, Rhaetian (208.5 - 201.3 Ma)
• Norian to Rhaetian age stated in text; according to Marcoux 1993 Nayband formation of Late Norian age. Conodonts and ammonoids below sponge-bearing beds are Norian. Kristan-Tollmann et al. (1979) considered the Oxycolpella beds (equivalent to the sponge beds) to be Rhaetian, followed by Schafer et al. (2003).
• group of beds-level stratigraphic resolution
Environment/lithology: reef, buildup or bioherm; lithified reef rocks
Size class: macrofossils
