Geography
Country:Thailand
Coordinates: 8.5° North, 98.5° East (view map)
Paleocoordinates:32.1° South, 106.3° 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:273.01000 - 266.90000 m.y. ago
Stratigraphy
Formation:Rat Buri
Stratigraphic resolution:group of beds
Stratigraphy comments: Brachiopod-bearing bed is visible in the cliff wall about 30 feet above the ground but is inaccessible. Blocks containing fossils have fallen from the cliff and lie along the base. The age of the Rat Buri fauna is problematic. "Rat Buri" limestones likely range in age from Kungurian through Capitanian to perhaps Wuchiapingian. Wordian fusulinids appear most common in other collections, but are not found in association with the brachiopod localities. The brachopod fauna is most similar to the Wordian Amb Formation of the Salt Range, in Pakistan, tentatively indicating a Wordian age.
Lithology and environment
Primary lithology: argillaceous,cherty/siliceous "limestone"
Includes fossils?Y
Lithology description: Dark limestone with a great amount of mud; the blocks that had abundant Bilotina acantha also contained a lot of chert and porous siliceous material forming a fine meshwork of silica through the rock.
Environment:marine indet.
Taphonomy
Modes of preservation:body,replaced with silica
Size of fossils:macrofossils
Collection methods and comments
Collection excludes:some macrofossils
Collection methods:bulk,surface (float),chemical,field collection
Reason for describing collection:paleoecologic analysis
Taxonomic list comments:Concentrates on brachiopods; some other groups are mentioned briefly in text.
