Path from Niloelet to Oikoesi, Timor (Molengraaf coll) (Permian of Indonesia)

Where: West-Timor, Indonesia (9.6° S, 124.5° E: paleocoordinates 0.1° N, 117.1° E)

• coordinate based on nearby landmark

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Permian (298.9 - 251.9 Ma)

• Mixed assemblage in tectonically-disrupted melange sediments. Possibly Basleo Fauna, but uncertain.

• group of beds-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: marine; lithified lithology not reported

• The Permian rocks have been involved in major island arc tectonics, accompanied by folding and overthrusting, with formation of an tectonic melange

Size class: macrofossils

Preservation: original calcite

Collected by Molengraaff, Dutch Timor Expedition in 1910-1912

• Repository: Formerly Delft, ?now Nationaal Natuurhistorisch Museum–Naturalis, Leiden (NNM)
