Paleocoordinates:57.6° South, 141.3° East
Basis of coordinate:based on nearby landmark
Geographic resolution:small collection
Time
Period:Permian Epoch:Lopingian
Stage:Wuchiapingian 10 m.y. bin:Permian 4

Stratigraphy
Formation:Blenheim
Stratigraphic resolution:bed
Stratigraphy comments: From the upper part of the stratigraphy containing the Big Strophalosia zone and clarkei bed. Upper part of the Blenheim Formation correlated with the upper part of APP4.3 palynomorph zone or lower part of APP5 (Briggs, 1998). The APP4.3 zone was constrained as mid-Wuchiapingian age and APP5 as mid-Wuchiapingian through Changhsingian age by U-Pb dating in Laurie et al. (2016). However, overlying units in the Fort Cooper Coal Measures yield latest Wuchiapingian U-Pb ages (Phillips et al., 2018), constraining the upper Blenheim Fm to Wuchiapingian.
