Where: Coahuila, Mexico (26.4° N, 102.9° W: paleocoordinates 1.7° S, 34.6° W)

• coordinate stated in text

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Las Delicias Formation, Capitanian (264.3 - 259.5 Ma)

• Brachiopods found suggest a Wordian–Capitanian age for the stratigraphic section studied herein, just as Wardlaw et al. (1979) reported for La Difunta unit. However, the presence of 15 common species with a Capitanian age along with the record of ammonoid Timorites from the upper part of Delaware Mountains and Mexico (Las Delicias Beds) (Miller, 1944; Wardlaw et al., 1979; Leonova, 2002) confirms that rocks of the Las Manuelas I section get a late-middle Permian age (Table 1). The stratigraphic location of the studied section allowed delimiting the age of the upper levels of La Difunta unit (Wardlaw et al., 1979) to the Capitanian.
