Etymology[edit]

From the Wade–Giles romanization of Mandarin 吳家坪／吴家坪 (Wújiāpíng, literally “Wu Family Flatland”) in Shaanxi Province in China: Wu2-chia1-pʻing2.

Proper noun[edit]

Wuchiapingian

  1. (geology, paleontology) A subdivision of the Permian period.
    • 2022 January 11, Li Yuan, “Investigating benthic marine redox conditions from late Permian to earliest Triassic”, in Phys.org‎[1], archived from the original on 11 January 2022, Earth Sciences‎[2]:
      Anoxic/euxinic benthic marine conditions prevailed throughout the middle Wuchiapingian to the early Changhsingian at Shangsi, which persisted for 3.9 Myr (256.974–253.073 Ma). This long-term middle Wuchiapingian-early Changhsingian anoxia event could be correlated both regionally and globally, and was caused by paleogeographic restrictions, relative high sea levels, high marine productivities, and possible global climate changes.
