For what it's worth, the Karoo fossils come from a very southerly latitude. See here for some interesting stuff regarding the location. Likewise, the Perm fossils - that gave the Permian its name - from Russia are from a very northerly latitude. The Chinese ones appear to be the only ones that are tropical. If there are any terrrestrial vertebrate fossils to be found there, it would be very interesting. Ditto the terrrestrial deposits period. It'd be great for determining the actual climate from isotopes.
