                                 Permian Period
 
                       From 299 +/- 0.8 To 251 +/- 0.4 Ma
 
  Start Defined By:  Conodont, lowest occurrence of Streptognathodus isolatus 
     within the S. "wabaunsensis" conodont chronocline.  6 m higher is lowest 
     fusilinid foraminifer Sphaeroschwagerina.
  End Defined By:  Conodont, lowest occurrence of Hindeodus parvus; termination 
     of major negative carbon-isotope excursion.  About 1 myr after peak of 
     Late Permian extinctions.
