Semin Ovrag, PIN 156 (Permian of Russian Federation)

Also known as Semin Ravine, Syomin Ovrag, Semin-Schlucht; Ilinskoe, Il'inskoe, Ilyinskoe, Iljinskoje

Where: Tatarstan, Russian Federation (55.0° N, 48.8° E: paleocoordinates 29.3° N, 43.5° E)

• coordinate based on nearby landmark

• small collection-level geographic resolution

When: Proelginia permiana other zone, Late/Upper Severodvinian (264.3 - 259.5 Ma)

• Ilinskoe Subassemblage of the Sokolki Assemblage; the middle part of the Late Tatarian (the later part of the Severodvinian) (Golubev 2000; Benton 2012, Geology).

•"Upper Permian, Upper Tatarian Substage, Severodvinian Horizon" (Kurkin, 2008).

•Eorasaurus olsoni comes from the upper substage of the Severodvinian regional stage (Sennikov 1997, 2011). Recent magnetostratigraphic evidence suggests that the base of the Severodvinian stage is within the Capitanian (approximately middle Capitanian), but there exists uncertainty regarding the age of the upper boundary of the Severodvinian, which may be close to the Wuchiapingian–Changhsingian boundary or to the Capitanian–Wuchiapingian boundary.

• group of beds-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: terrestrial; gray, red sandstone

• The bone bearing layer is a 2 m thick, reddish-grey sandstone which is underlain by an alternation of mudstones, sands and marls, and is overlain by bluish-gray mudstones with thin intercalations of grey clay-sands (Efremov 1940, Trudy Paleont. Inst. AN SSSR).

Size class: macrofossils
