Malakabad (Permian of Iran)

Where: Iran (32.8° N, 49.6° E: paleocoordinates 23.6° S, 47.5° E)

• coordinate estimated from map

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Guadalupian (273.0 - 259.5 Ma)

• Little age information in the original paper and specimens not collected with stratigraphic context. Douglas reports "Fusulina limestones" being common at many localities (including Eopolydiexodina persica), suggesting a Guadalupian age, based on more recent biostratigraphy by Davydov & Arefifard (2013).

• group of beds-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: lithified, black, carbonaceous limestone

Size class: macrofossils
