Araxes Gorge (Permian of Azerbaijan)

Where: Azerbaijan (39.0° N, 45.5° E)

• Paleocoordinates: 3.5° N, 55.6° E (Wright 2013)

• coordinate based on nearby landmark

• local area-level geographic resolution

When: Wuchiapingian (259.9 - 254.2 Ma)

• Come from Abich's "bed d", which could include taxa from multiple intervals, but appears strongly dominated by typical Wuchiapingian brachiopods and ammonoids.

• group of beds-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: lithified limestone

Size class: macrofossils

Preservation: mold/impression
