Age range of interval: 293.52 - 290.1 m.y. ago
Stratigraphy
Formation:Singa
Stratigraphic resolution:group of beds
Stratigraphy comments: Top part of the Singa Formation.
Lithology and environment
Primary lithology:pebbly lithified mudstone
Lithology description: Moderate to thickly bedded mudstone which is dark gray to greenish in color. The basal part of this mudstone grades into siltstone or fine sandstone which is relatively richer in fossil content. Beside this poorly graded bedding at its base, the rest of the mudstone seems to be massive and structureless. Rare and isolated small pebbles and fossils are randomly distributed within this massive mudstone.
Environment:marine indet.
Taphonomy
Modes of preservation:mold/impression
Size of fossils:macrofossils
Collection methods and comments
Reason for describing collection:general faunal/floral analysis
