Where: East Timor (8.9° S, 125.6° E: paleocoordinates 0.1° S, 114.1° E)

• coordinate stated in text

• small collection-level geographic resolution

When: Maubisse Limestone Formation, Sakmarian to Sakmarian (293.5 - 279.3 Ma)

• Although no conodonts were recovered from the type section, a sample from 320 m further west along the limestone ridge yielded a Pa element fragment identified as probably Vjalovognathus australis Nicoll and Metcalfe. Although endemic to southern cool-water successions, the species indicates a late Sakmarian–Artinskian age based on west Australian successions.

• bed-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: lithified, shelly/skeletal packstone

Size class: macrofossils

Collection methods: peel or thin section,

• Repository: University of Western Australia
