Stratigraphy: float apparently derived from the Clarion Coal, Allegheny Group, Middle Pennsylvanian

Locality: talus from Prattsville West Outcrop - roadcut on the southern side of Rt. 50, west of the town of Prattsville & east of the town of McArthur, far-western Madison Township, east-central Vinton County, southeastern Ohio, USA
