Geography
Country:Armenia
Coordinates: 39.9° North, 44.9° East (view map)
Paleocoordinates:8.2° South, 41.1° East
Basis of coordinate:based on nearby landmark
Geographic resolution:small collection
Time
Period:Permian Epoch:Guadalupian
Stage:Wordian 10 m.y. bin:Permian 4
Key time interval:Wordian
Age range of interval:266.90000 - 264.28000 m.y. ago
Stratigraphy
Formation:Arpa
Stratigraphic resolution:group of beds
Stratigraphy comments: Basal unit of the Midian stage of the Tethyan timescale. Kotlyar et al. (1989) identified two fusulinid zones, the lower Yangchienia thompsoni and the upper Chusenella abichi. In central Iran, Chusenella abichi occurs with Neoschwagerina margaritae (Leven, 1998), suggesting a Wordian age for the entire Arpa Formation.
