Bugarikta (PIN collection 2010) (Permian of Russian Federation)

Where: Krasnoyarsk, Russian Federation (64.3° N, 93.3° E: paleocoordinates 54.6° N, 44.0° E)

• coordinate stated in text

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Bugarikta Formation, Changhsingian (254.2 - 252.2 Ma)

• According to Bashkuev (2022), the fossils come from the Khungtukun Horizon (Bugarikta Formation) and are probably of uppermost Permian age.

Environment/lithology: terrestrial; lithified mudstone

• Tunguska basin
• "At the base of the slope, which is covered with trapp debris, is exposed a strata of green sandstones, interbedded with layers of red and brownish sheet-like sandstones. One of these brownish layers is filled with remains of Esterians, Ostracods, imprints of vegetation and fish remains."

•"a small thin plate of fine-lamellate brown sandstone. This fine-granulate sandstone with dispersed particles of clay should rather be referred to siltstones. On the elastical material of sandstone there are observed unputrified particles of the eruptive basal rock. The texture of this rock presents an alternation of very thin (0.5 mm) layers of dark and light colours, of sandstone and clay origin respectively." (Shiskin 1998)

Size class: macrofossils

Preservation: mold/impression
