Where: India (22.2° N, 78.2° E: paleocoordinates 48.3° S, 51.2° E)
• coordinate based on nearby landmark
• small collection-level geographic resolution
When: Denwa Formation, Anisian (247.2 - 242.0 Ma)
• Vertebrate biostratigraphy (e.g. Bandyopadhyay & Sengupta 1999. J. Afr. Earth Sciences 29:233-241) has been used to argue for an early Anisian age for the Denwa, on the basis of similarities to the fauna of the Moenkopi Formation of the USA
• bed-level stratigraphic resolution
Environment/lithology: terrestrial; lithology not reported
Size class: macrofossils
