Type locality, also called type area, is the
locality where a particular
rock type,
stratigraphic unit or
mineral species is first identified.[1] If the stratigraphic unit in a locality is layered, it is called a
stratotype, whereas the standard of reference for unlayered rocks is the type locality.[2]
