Padang Highlands (Permian to of Indonesia)

Where: Sumatra, Indonesia (1.8° S, 101.8° E: paleocoordinates 27.6° S, 116.8° E)

• coordinate based on nearby landmark

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Silungkang Formation, Roadian to Roadian (272.3 - 264.3 Ma)

• There are two divisions: a lower slate with marl and pebbly shale, and an upper dark limestone. Fossils are from the upper division, and the presence of Verbeekina verbeeki suggests an early Guadalupian age.

• group of beds-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: lithified, black, gray limestone

Size class: macrofossils

Collected by R.D.M. Verbeek in 1876

• Partially collected by Verbeek himself and partly by his officers
