Where: Andhra Pradesh, India (19.4° N, 79.3° E: paleocoordinates 50.8° S, 48.8° E)
• coordinate stated in text
• small collection-level geographic resolution
When: Yerrapalli 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 a middle/late Anisian age for the Yerrapalli, on the basis of similarities to the fauna of the Manda Beds of Tanzania
• bed-level stratigraphic resolution
Environment/lithology: terrestrial; lithology not reported
Size class: macrofossils
