Where: Pakistan (36.8° N, 73.4° E: paleocoordinates 47.4° S, 61.6° E)

• coordinate based on nearby landmark

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Lashkargaz Formation (Chapursan Group), Kungurian (279.3 - 272.3 Ma)

• Member 4. Member 4. It was given a Kubergandian age, but the Kubergandian is now partly correlated to the Kungurian (e.g. in its type area in the Pamirs by Angiolini et al. 2015). In particular, strata are basal Kubergandian and contain fusulinids Parafusulina (Skinnerella) and Misellina, including species (Skinnerella quasigruperaensis) typical of the Armenina-Misellina ovalis zone in the Pamirs (Kungurian according to Angiolini et al. 2015).

• bed-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: lithified mixed carbonate-siliciclastic sediments

Size class: macrofossils

Collection methods: All specimens are housed at the Museo di Paleontologia (MPUM) del Dipartimento di Scienze della Terra dell'Universtia degli Studi de Milano (Italy).
