Source-derived summary

The Avion locality is a carboniferous lagerstätte in France. This lagerstätte is located in a coal slag-heap outside the town of Avion in the region of Pas-de-Calais. Unfortunately, as this slag heap is closed and no new fossils are able to be obtained outside of the paleobiota previously identified. In addition, the coal where the scraps are obtained has not been assigned to any formation.

Editorial summary

This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Avion locality” as fossil locality in France. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.

Editorial reviewA practical starting point whose main value is the path it opens into stronger specialist and primary sources. The current 65-word lead offers orientation but no explicit four-digit date, so chronology should not be assumed. The selected authority fields contribute no independent date. The account is most persuasive where Avion, locality and fossil can be independently traced.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as fossil locality in France. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.

Evidence profile

Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 11, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q136242589. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference.

Critical limits

A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it
