Abstract
The New Zealand succession spans the full length of the Permian, and unlike that of most areas of the world, is almost entirely marine, with faunas ranging from Sakmarian to topmost ("Tatarian") Permian. The Lower Permian is correlated by brachiopods, bivalves and gastropods with faunas of Queensland and New South Wales, and the Upper Permian by brachiopods, an ammonoid, and fusulinids with Tethyan sequences of south and east Asia.Keywords
