• coordinate based on political unit

• small collection-level geographic resolution

When: E1 zone, Shrimp Member (Manse Burn Formation), Pendleian (330.9 - 327.0 Ma)

• “The Manse Burn Formation has been dated as Pendleian (Namurian) E1 Zone, based on spore, conodont, and goniatite analysis. Clark defined the Formation as including the shales from the Top Hosie Limestone Marine Band to the bas of the first thick sandstone. The Formation has been subdivided into six members on the basis of the fossil content and sedimentological characteristics of the shales: the Shrimp member, the Posidonia Member, the Nodular Shale Member, The Platey Shale Member, the Betwixt Member, and the Lingular Member. These Members correspond approximately to the ‘beds’ presented by Wood (1982)”
