Where: Ruvuma, Tanzania (10.3° S, 35.2° E: paleocoordinates 53.7° S, 23.0° E)
• coordinate estimated from map
• outcrop-level geographic resolution
When: Lifua Member (Manda Beds Formation), Anisian (247.2 - 242.0 Ma)
• Lifua Member is correlated with Subzone C of the Cynognathus Assemblage Zone on the basis of shared occurrences of the dicynodont Angonisaurus and the cynodonts Diademodon and Cricodon. Subzone C of the Cynognathus Assemblage Zone is suggested to be late Anisian
• bed-level stratigraphic resolution
Environment/lithology: terrestrial; lithology not reported
Size class: macrofossils
