The Subcommission on Permian Stratigraphy is concentrating its efforts to establish the remaining three GSSPs in the Cisuralian as well as refining the Permian timescale for global correlation, including into the terrestrial realm. In this paper, we provide a brief overview on recent progress of Permian timescale development based on new biostratigraphic, geochemical and geochronologic data. The Permian Period was from 298.9 Ma to 252.17 Ma based on the latest U-Pb ages in the southern Urals and South China. The Cisuralian, Guadalupian and Lopingian have durations of 26.6 Myr, 12.5 Myr and 7.63 Myr, respectively.
