"Moulmein Limestone, widely exposed in Karen and Mon states, and with the Tharabwin Limestone in Tanintharyi region of Myanmar. The Moulmein Limestone correlative with the Ratburi Limestone in Peninsular Thailand) of late Early Permian age and younger (Ueno & Charoentitirat 2011). While Mergui Group argillite, sandstone and diamictite crop out most widely in southern Myanmar, other units were also mapped there by Rao (1930). Rare hills of limestone occur, which he correlated with the Moulmein Limestone of the Mawlamyine (Moulmein) district further north. (The term ‘Moulmein Limestone’ was adopted by Bender (1983) based on the ‘Moulmein Beds’ described by Oldham (1856)."
