Geography
Country: Russia
Coordinate: 53.15° N, 107.19° E
Coordinate basis: estimated from map
Formation: Khalagai
Time interval: Early Miocene
Zone: MN4
Max Ma: 16.5
Min Ma: 16.3
Age basis: paleomag
Geography comments: "in the Togay Bay of Ol'khon Island, Baykal Lake, Russia"
"snakes come from the lower part of the Khalagai Formation... the overall composition of the fauna from Togay recalls that of the late Early Miocene and early Middle Miocene (MN3-MN5) of Europe"
dated at 16.5 to 16.3 Ma based on the paleomagnetic stratigraphy (Daxner-Höck et al. 2022, Palaeobiodiversity and Palaeoenvironments), which is late Burdigalian or MN4
