L30, Luangwa Basin (Permian of Zambia)

Where: Zambia (10.6° S, 33.0° E: paleocoordinates 54.6° S, 13.1° E)

• coordinate based on nearby landmark

• Angielczyk et al. (2014) argued that the Upper Madumabisa Mudstone contains a single faunal assemblage correlated to the Cistecephalus Assemblage Zone of South Africa.

• bed-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: terrestrial; siliciclastic sediments

Size class: macrofossils
