Where: Yunnan, China (24.9° N, 99.1° E: paleocoordinates 39.0° S, 94.7° E)

• coordinate based on nearby landmark

• small collection-level geographic resolution

When: Dingjiazhai Formation, Artinskian (290.1 - 279.3 Ma)

• The uppermost part contains two or three bioclastic limestone beds. Fusulinaceans and conodonts occur only in these limestone intercalations, both indicating an Artinskian age. Small solitary rugose corals occurmainly in the uppermost part of the formation.

• group of beds-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: lithified limestone
