Mingshan Coalfield, Loping Area (Permian of China)

Where: Jiangxi, China (29.0° N, 117.1° E: paleocoordinates 11.6° N, 102.1° E)

• coordinate estimated from map

• local area-level geographic resolution

• According to von Richthofen (as a footnote), "The fossils come from thin limestone layers, which are intersected by the wells, just before they reach the coal seams."

• group of beds-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: lithified, gray, red limestone

Size class: macrofossils
