Also known as Floresta Series Fauna
Where: Boyaca, Colombia (5.9° N, 72.9° W: paleocoordinates 47.7° S, 49.5° W)
• coordinate stated in text
• local area-level geographic resolution
When: Floresta-Labateca Formation, Frasnian (382.7 - 372.2 Ma)
• Caster refers to rocks as Floresta Series. Barrett (Refs. 9602, 9639) seems to suggest that fossiliferous samples are large Emsian to Eifelian in age. Caster suggests correspondences with a number of Lower and Middle Devonian faunas elsewhere. Pastor-Chacón, Reyes-Abril, Cáceres-Guevara, Sarmiento & Cramer 2013 make it Frasnian.
• formation-level stratigraphic resolution
Environment/lithology: marine; yellow shale
Size class: macrofossils
Collection methods: Olsson and Dickey collected material described by Caster and by McNair. Morales lists only those taxa that were not already reported by these previous authors.
