The Padaukpin Limestone of La Touche (1913) and the Pwepon Limestone in the unpublished PhD thesis of Khaing Khaing San (2005) are here considered counterparts of the Maymyo Formation. The former consists of light to dark grey dolomitic limestone, commonly associated with loose muddy particles and, in places, interbedded with thin shale. The latter is composed of light to dark grey, thin- to medium-bedded fossiliferous dolomitic limestone and argillaceous limestone with some silty clear-seawater environment, occasionally deepening, under conditions of moderate to strong energy caused by waves or a storm (Padaukpin Limestone–Pwepon Limestone); a small lagoonal environment (represented by the Wetwin Shale) might have been developed near the shoreline (Aye Ko Aung 2012).
