TJ181, Charymdara-Zydadara-Gundara watersheds (Permian of Tajikistan)

Where: Tajikistan (38.8° N, 70.9° E: paleocoordinates 28.0° N, 67.6° E)

• coordinate stated in text

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Safetdara Formation, Kungurian (279.3 - 272.3 Ma)

• bed-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: open shallow subtidal; lithified, shelly/skeletal limestone

• Our microfacies analysis of samples from the Safetdara Formation reveals that they contain mainly photozoan assemblages. Therefore, they are typical shoal deposits of warm, shallow (5–10 m deep) and agitated but clear marine waters.

Size class: macrofossils
