Wamkaha, western Buru Island (Triassic of Indonesia)

Where: Maluku, Indonesia (3.3° S, 126.1° E: paleocoordinates 22.7° N, 122.8° E)

• coordinate based on nearby landmark

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Fogi Formation, Lacian (221.5 - 215.6 Ma)

• "[Lower Norian]" (Krumbeck 1913)

• group of beds-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: marine; marl and gray limestone

• "[The Fogi strata have an absolute height of 1050-1100m through the upper reaches of the river over a length of approx. 700m, as an approximately 80m thick succession of black marl-slates alternating with black limestone beds. The rock of the fossils is weathered to a rather soft, pale blue-grey marl lime of very fine grained, rough surface condition, as it is seen in the Walhunga... A distinguishing feature of the southern occurrences is the grey to brownish-grey colouration of the peels.]" (Krumbeck 1913)

Size class: macrofossils
