Stratigraphic resolution:group
Stratigraphy comments: LITHOSTRATIGRAPHY: From unamed unit within Kanokuran Series. Formerly assigned to Maiya Group (Upper Carboniferous-Middle Permian). AGE: No justification reported for "Latest Permian" age for specific collection other than general location within Upper Permian stratigraphy. While stated in text to be Latest Permian, enterer has assigned collection to the Wuchiapingian to avoid orphaning
