Where: Luang Prabang, Laos (20.0° N, 102.1° E: paleocoordinates 6.4° S, 96.0° E)
• coordinate based on nearby landmark
When: Lopingian (259.9 - 252.2 Ma)
• "Consequently, even if Dicynodon can no longer be regarded as a very accurate stratigraphic marker, a Late Permian age of the purple beds of the area of Luang Prabang can be considered as established; a few additional data, although not very informative, are not in contradiction with such an age" (Battail, 2009)
Environment/lithology: terrestrial; lithology not reported
Size class: macrofossils
