Where: Thailand (15.3° N, 100.4° E: paleocoordinates 28.1° S, 96.5° E)

• coordinate estimated from map

• small collection-level geographic resolution

When: Tak Fa Formation, Wordian (266.9 - 264.3 Ma)

• Yanagida (1964, 1988) reported the presence of the fusulinid Verbeekina verbeeki. However, Fontaine et al. (1994) suggested that the Tak Fa formation has a late Middle Permian (Murghabian) age based on bryozoans, brachiopods and the coral fauna. Verbeekina verbeeki Suggests a Wordian age.

• bed-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: open shallow subtidal; lithified, shelly/skeletal, gray packstone

Size class: macrofossils

Preservation: replaced with silica

Reposited in the BSP
