Also known as Zhal-Pak-Tas granite quarry

Where: Alma-Ata Region, Kazakhstan (44.3° N, 76.7° E: paleocoordinates 31.6° N, 65.6° E)

• coordinate based on nearby landmark

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Kugaly Formation, Asselian to Asselian (298.9 - 272.3 Ma)

• Kugaly Formation, which is Late Pennsylvanian or Early Permian in age. All seymouriamorphs are Permian in age, including the Middle Permian Urumqia liudaowanensis from Xinjiang, China, which was synonymized under Utegenia shpinari by Ivakhnenko (1987). Therefore, the Permian age of Kurty seems more probable.

Environment/lithology: lacustrine; lithified siltstone

Size class: macrofossils

Reposited in the PIN
