Geography
| Country: | Falkland Islands (Malvinas) |
| Coordinates: | 51.9° South, 59.1° West (view map) |
| Paleocoordinates: | 65.5° South, 45.0° West |
| Basis of coordinate: | based on nearby landmark |
| Geographic resolution: | outcrop |
Time
| Period: | Permian | Epoch: | Lopingian |
| Stage: | Wuchiapingian | 10 m.y. bin: | Permian 4 |
| Key time interval: | Wuchiapingian | ||
| Age range of interval: | 259.51000 - 254.14000 m.y. ago |
Stratigraphy
| Formation: | Bay of Harbours | Member: | Praltos | ||
| Stratigraphic resolution: | bed | ||||
| Stratigraphy comments: Stated as "Upper Permian" and Tillyard's description implies he is correlating it with the freshwater Upper Permian of Australia. Locality falls within area underlain by Praltos Member of the Bay of Harbours Formation, which is most likely Wuchiapingian in age. | |||||
