East of Katwahi, very lowest compact limestones, Middle Productus-limestone (Permian of Pakistan)

Also known as Kathwai

Where: Pakistan (32.5° N, 72.2° E: paleocoordinates 45.3° S, 55.4° E)

• coordinate based on nearby landmark

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Wargal Formation, Capitanian (265.1 - 259.9 Ma)

• Derived either from the very lowest beds of the compact limestone composing the middle region of the Productus-limestone, or to the highest beds of the lower division of the same formation. The character of the rock makes it appear, however, more likely that the former is the case.

• group of beds-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: lithified limestone

Size class: macrofossils
