Geography
Country:China State/province:Xinjiang
Coordinates: 35.8° North, 76.8° East (view map)
Paleocoordinates:25.7° South, 60.6° East
Basis of coordinate:based on nearby landmark
Geographic resolution:outcrop
Time
Period: Permian Epoch: Guadalupian
Stage: Roadian 10 m.y. bin: Permian 3
Key time interval: Roadian
Age range of interval: 273.01 - 266.9 m.y. ago
Stratigraphy
Formation:Shaksgam
Stratigraphic resolution:bed
Stratigraphy comments: No stratigraphic details given in primary reference, but most likely from member 1 of the Shaksgam Formation (sparse brachiopods are also present higher in the formation). Presence of fusulinids Monodiexodina, Minojapanella wutuensis, Parafusulina japonica, and Boultonia suggests an early Guadalupian age for those units.
