Paleozoic strata are well developed in the western Thailand area, but the detailed palaeontological research is still lacking for the Ordovician in study area. Abundant conodonts and cephalopod samples from the Tha Manao Formation in western Thailand (Sibumasu terrane, Dapingian Wat Mong Kratae section, GPS coordinates: 14°25′57″ N, 99°7′23″) were collected and identified in this study, constraining the age of Dapingian, and correlating to the Hunghuayuan Formation of South China. This dataset includes the stratigraphic column of the Tha Manao Formation section and outcrop photos in the western Thailand.

File naming and required software

The file name is "Stratigraphic column of Ordovician Tha Manao Formation in Wat Mong Kratae section, western Thailand", which is composed of research site (western Thailand) + section (Paleozoic stratum of wat Mong kratae section) + data type (stratigraphic column). The data is stored in TIFF format and can be opened and read by various map viewing software.
