Where: Park County County, Wyoming (45.0° N, 109.6° W: paleocoordinates 28.2° S, 47.1° W)

• coordinate estimated from map

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Beartooth Butte Formation, Emsian (407.6 - 393.3 Ma)

• age based on dispersed spore data (McGregor, personal communication to Tanner).

• group of beds-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: coastal; lithified, gray, calcareous mudstone and lithified, calcareous shale

Size classes: macrofossils, microfossils

Preservation: mold/impression, adpression, permineralized, replaced with pyrite

Collection methods: quarrying, surface (float), surface (in situ), chemical, mechanical, peel or thin section,

• most plant fossils seem to come from Dorf's lithological sequence C; however, fossils collected for this study are from talus.
