Sakmarian  

Definition

  • In the geologic timescale, the Sakmarian is an age or stage of the Permian period. It is a subdivision of the Cisuralian Epoch or Series. The Sakmarian lasted between 293.52 and 290.1 million years ago (Ma). It was preceded by the Asselian and followed by the Artinskian. The Sakmarian Stage is named after the Sakmara River in the Ural Mountains, a tributary to the Ural River. The base of the Sakmarian Stage is defined by the first appearance of conodont species Streptognathodus postfusus in the fossil record. The top of the Sakmarian (the base of the Artinskian) is defined as the place in the stratigraphic record where fossils of conodont species Sweetognathus whitei and Mesogondolella bisselli first appear.
