Also known as Wuda coalfield

Where: Nei Mongol, China (39.5° N, 106.6° E: paleocoordinates 24.2° N, 80.8° E)

• coordinate based on nearby landmark

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Taiyuan Formation, Asselian (298.9 - 295.5 Ma)

• Collected from the volcanic tuff bed between Coal No. 6 and No. 7 in Wuda Coalfield, Inner Mongolia, China. The tuff bed belongs to the uppermost part of Taiyuan Formation. Unpublished isotopic dating indicates the tuff bed to be Asselian in age (Wang et al., 2014).

• bed-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: mire or swamp; lithified tuff

Size class: macrofossils

Preservation: adpression

Reposited in the NIGPAS
