Paleocoordinates:78.6° South, 160.3° East
Basis of coordinate:based on nearby landmark
Geographic resolution:outcrop
Time
Period:Permian Epoch:Guadalupian
Stage:Wordian 10 m.y. bin:Permian 4
Key time interval:Wordian
Age range of interval:266.90000 - 264.28000 m.y. ago
Stratigraphy
Formation:Malbina Member:E
Stratigraphic resolution:group of beds
Stratigraphy comments: Assigned to the Echinalosia hanloni/robusta zone by Briggs (1998), in the basal part of the APP4.2 palynomorph zone. Laurie et al. (2016) placed the base of APP4.2 at 266.8 Ma, coincident with the base of the Wordian (266.9 Ma in Wu et al., 2020), so a Wordian age is assigned to these collections.
