Where: Russian Federation (58.0° N, 56.3° E: paleocoordinates 31.0° N, 44.2° E)

• coordinate based on nearby landmark

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Kungurian to Kungurian (279.3 - 268.8 Ma)

• Murchison, Verneuil, and Keyserling did not visit Mount Tchelpan so they assign a Permian age to the limestones only because they contain "Mytilus" pallasi.

• group of beds-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: shallow subtidal; lithified limestone

Size class: macrofossils
