Where: Shanxi, China (37.1° N, 113.0° E: paleocoordinates 38.2° N, 90.5° E)

• coordinate estimated from map

• hand sample-level geographic resolution

When: Perovkan other zone, Upper Member (Ermaying Formation), Anisian (247.2 - 242.0 Ma)

• Young (1957) gives the age of the fossil bearing bed as "Lower Triassic". Li (1989, Vert. PalAs. 27(4), tab. 4) says that Neoprocolophon asiaticus is from the "Middle-Upper Ermaying Fm., Middle Triassic". Upper Ermaying Formation was assigned to the Perovkan LVF of predominantly Anisian age by Lucas (2010)
