Where: Indonesia (10.2° S, 123.6° E: paleocoordinates 10.2° S, 123.6° E)
• coordinate estimated from map
• outcrop-level geographic resolution
When: Wuchiapingian (259.9 - 254.2 Ma)
• The fossils likely come from float and the unit is a tectonized accretionary prism. Area contains the traditional Amarassi fauna, of probable Wuchiapingian age. The ammonoid and Atomodesma bivalves were specifically stated not to occur in the same layer.
• group of beds-level stratigraphic resolution
Environment/lithology: lithified, red, silty limestone
