"Purple Beds", Luang Prabang | Battail B. (2009) | "Consequently, even if Dicynodon can no longer be regarded as a very accurate stratigraphic marker, a Late Permian age of the purple beds of the area of Luang Prabang can be considered as established; a few additional data, although not very informative, are not in contradiction with such an age" (Battail, 2009) | not reported | 259.9 - 252.17 Ma Permian |
