Where: Pakistan (25.5° N, 69.0° E: paleocoordinates 15.8° N, 66.7° E)

• coordinate stated in text

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Nari Formation, Early/Lower Oligocene (33.9 - 28.4 Ma)

• STRATIGRAPHIC RELATIONS: Basal beds of regional succession, and is overlain by the Gaj beds (Early Miocene). AGE: Early Oligocene, based on similarity with European faunas of Lattofian and Stampian age. STRATIGRAPHIC POSITION: Unknown position within unit.

• group of beds-level stratigraphic resolution
