The Ladinian is a stage and age in the Middle Triassic series or epoch. It spans the time between ~242 Ma and ~235 Ma (million years ago). The Ladinian was preceded by the Anisian and succeeded by the Carnian (part of the Upper or Late Triassic).
The Ladinian is coeval with the Falangian Chinese regional stage.
