Geography
Country: | Thailand | State/province: | Trang |
Coordinates: | 7.4° North, 99.3° East (view map) | ||
Paleocoordinates: | 31.3° South, 107.5° East | ||
Basis of coordinate: | based on nearby landmark | ||
Geographic resolution: | small collection |
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: Blocks are derived from seacliffs, making it impossible to measure a stratigraphic section or determine whether they are derived from a single horizon. 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: | lithified argillaceous,sandy "limestone" |
Includes fossils? | Y |
Environment: | offshore shelf |
Geology comments: Interpreted as rather quiet water that was deep enough not to be disrupted by ordinary wave action. It was a fairly flat sea floor bearing an abundant fauna of small organisms with bryozoans and crinoids in patches like gardens. |
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, and other groups are listed only in the text for the generic total collection, not for the subset individual blocks. |
