Where: Germany (50.0° N, 11.6° E)

• Paleocoordinates: 29.7° N, 29.4° E (Wright 2013)

• coordinate based on nearby landmark

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Illyrian to Illyrian (247.2 - 235.0 Ma)

• Historical localities come from the Upper Muschelkalk, but the exact formation is unknown. The Laineck area spans the Illyrian and Fassanian (Diedrich, 2012). Fritsch (1899) describes Limulus priscus as coming from the "Muschelkalk-Dolomit", which might indicate the Meisßner Formation (Fassanian), which contains dolomitic units (Diedrich, 2012).

• group of beds-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: marine; limestone

Size class: macrofossils

Reposited in the BSP

• Münster's material probably at BSP
