Nakakubo, Yanadani-mura, Kamiukena-gun, Ehime Prefecture (Permian of Japan)

Where: Japan (33.5° N, 133.0° E: paleocoordinates 14.5° N, 99.6° E)

• coordinate based on nearby landmark

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Nakakubo Formation, Asselian (298.9 - 295.5 Ma)

• Presence of Pseudoschwagerina minatoi, Triticites aff. pusillus, Schwagerina stabilis, and Nankinella kawadai suggest Asselian age. Correlative zone also contains Rugosofusulina, Pseudofusulina, and Paraschwagerina.

• group of beds-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: lithified, massive, shelly/skeletal, gray, white packstone

• Limestones are whitish gray and massive, and consist of bioclastic calcarenite, including abundant fusulinaceans and brachiopods, and small amounts of corals, crinoids, pelecypods, and gastropods.

Size class: macrofossils
