Also known as Myeongcheon

Where: South Korea (36.3° N, 126.6° E: paleocoordinates 43.2° N, 121.2° E)

• coordinate stated in text

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Amisan Formation (Nampo Group), Norian (228.0 - 208.5 Ma)

• Assigned to the Norian by Nam et al. (2017), although later they said " The age of this insect fauna is still debatable, but it is generally considered to be Late Triassic or Early Jurassic. We consider it as Late Triassic in age based on the analysis of the fossil conchostracans (Estherites kawasaki) and plants (Equisetites ferganensis)."

• group of beds-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: lacustrine; lithified shale

Size class: macrofossils

Preservation: adpression

Collection methods: Repository: Department of Earth Science Education, Kongju (Gongju) National University, Korea (KNU/GNUE); Boryeong Coal Museum, Boryeong (BCM)
