Also known as Lower Gondwanan series
Where: Kashmir, India (34.0° N, 74.9° E: paleocoordinates 54.8° S, 63.1° E)
• coordinate based on nearby landmark
When: Vihi Member, Asselian to Asselian (298.9 - 290.1 Ma)
• "collected from the Lower Permian Gangamopteris shales (glassy volcanic tuff) of the Lower Gondwana series". Age previously given as Rotliegendes but Gangamopteris shales correlated with Eurydesma-bearing beds at Manendragarh and the Salt Range, suggesting an Asselian-Sakmarian age.
• group of beds-level stratigraphic resolution
Environment/lithology: terrestrial; tuffaceous shale
Size class: macrofossils
Preservation: mold/impression
