Where: Svalbard and Jan Mayen (78.7° N, 16.8° E: paleocoordinates 25.3° N, 6.9° E)
• coordinate estimated from map
• outcrop-level geographic resolution
When: Trikolorfjellet Member (Ebbadalen Formation), Bashkirian (323.2 - 315.2 Ma)
• The investigated specimen is from the uppermost carbonate bed in the Trikolorfjellet Member, Ebbadalen Formation. The upper Trikolorfjellet Member is of middle to late Bashkirian age based on the presence of a microbiota of fusulinid, endothyrid and archadiscid foraminifers in carbonate beds immediately below and above.
• bed-level stratigraphic resolution
Environment/lithology: open shallow subtidal; lithified, shelly/skeletal wackestone
Size class: macrofossils
