Where: United Kingdom (52.1° N, 2.1° W: paleocoordinates 37.7° N, 0.6° E)

• coordinate based on nearby landmark

• small collection-level geographic resolution

When: Cotham Member (Lilstock Formation), Rhaetian (205.6 - 201.6 Ma)

• In this area, the insect bed is almost the lowest bed of the Lower Lias and overlies the White Lias (Rhaetian), either in the lowermost Hettangian planorbis zone or uppermost Rhaetian pre-planorbis beds. At Strensham, it is in the pre-planorbis beds.
