Southern part of Kilim shale quarry (Permian of Malaysia)

Where: Malaysia (6.4° N, 99.8° E: paleocoordinates 32.9° S, 120.8° E)

• coordinate based on nearby landmark

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Singa Formation, Sakmarian (293.5 - 290.1 Ma)

• Top part of the Singa Formation.

• group of beds-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: marine; lithified, pebbly mudstone

• Moderate to thickly bedded mudstone which is dark gray to greenish in color. The basal part of this mudstone grades into siltstone or fine sandstone which is relatively richer in fossil content. Beside this poorly graded bedding at its base, the rest of the mudstone seems to be massive and structureless. Rare and isolated small pebbles and fossils are randomly distributed within this massive mudstone.

Size class: macrofossils

Preservation: mold/impression
