Where: Nizhnii Novgorod, Russian Federation (57.1° N, 45.2° E: paleocoordinates 31.5° N, 36.8° E)

• coordinate based on nearby landmark

• small collection-level geographic resolution

When: Induan (252.2 - 251.2 Ma)

• "Vokhmian Gorizont, Lower Triassic" (Spencer & Benton, 2000). Ivakhnenko (1974, Paleont.

Both, the Vokhmian and the base of the Vetlugian correspond to the Induan stage of the international geologic time scale. Ivakhnenko (2008) also assigns this locality to the Induan.
