Also known as Kathwai
Where: Pakistan (32.5° N, 72.2° E: paleocoordinates 45.3° S, 55.4° E)
• coordinate based on nearby landmark
• outcrop-level geographic resolution
When: Wargal Formation, Capitanian (264.3 - 259.5 Ma)
• Derived either from the very lowest beds of the compact limestone composing the middle region of the Productus-limestone, or to the highest beds of the lower division of the same formation. The character of the rock makes it appear, however, more likely that the former is the case.
• group of beds-level stratigraphic resolution
Environment/lithology: lithified limestone
Size class: macrofossils
