Where: Russian Federation (61.1° N, 147.2° E: paleocoordinates 77.0° N, 32.9° E)

• coordinate estimated from map

• small collection-level geographic resolution

When: Kulu Formation, Wuchiapingian (259.9 - 254.2 Ma)

• group of beds-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: marine; lithified, fine-grained, medium, gray, green sandstone and lithified, argillaceous, carbonaceous siltstone

• Alternating beds (5–10 m) of light greenish gray fine to medium-grained compact massive sandstones and packets of intercalated thin-bedded light greenish gray fine-grained sandstones and greenish gray todark gray, sometimes, carbonaceous–

•clayey siltstones with laminae (from 1 mm to 1–3 cm) of black shales. The section encloses rare interbeds of fine- to medium-grained poorly sorted clayey sandstones and ellipsoid calcareous concretions 5 × 10 cm in size. There are

•also rare interbeds (5–10 cm) of small- to medium-pebbled conglomerates at the top of the member and 55 m below the latter.

Size class: macrofossils
