Geography
| Country: | Pakistan |
| Coordinates: | 26.4° North, 67.9° East (view map) |
| Paleocoordinates: | 16.9° North, 65.9° East |
| Basis of coordinate: | stated in text |
| Geographic resolution: | outcrop |
Time
| Period: | Paleogene | Epoch: | Oligocene |
| Stage: | Rupelian | 10 m.y. bin: | Cenozoic 4 |
| Key time interval: | Rupelian | ||
| Age range of interval: | 33.90000 - 27.82000 m.y. ago |
Stratigraphy
| Formation: | Nari | ||||
| Stratigraphic resolution: | group of beds | ||||
| Stratigraphy comments: STRATIGRAPHIC RELATIONS: Basal beds of regional succession, and is overlain by the Gaj beds (Early Miocene). From the Lower Nari. AGE: Early Oligocene, based on similarity with European faunas of Lattofian and Stampian age. STRATIGRAPHIC POSITION: Unknown position within unit. | |||||
Lithology and environment
| Primary lithology: | poorly lithified "limestone" |
| Includes fossils? | Y |
| Lithology description: SPECIFIC LITHOLOGY: "Yellow and brown limestones" in Blanford (1879). Formation in the Kirthar Range to the north described as "cross-stratified, ripple-laminated, medium- to coarse-grained sandstone interbedded with minor amounts of shale. Limestone containing marine fossils and interbedded with shale and sandstone is commonly present in the lower part of the formation." LITHIFICATION: Poorly-lithified, based on figured specimens. | |
| Environment: | deep subtidal ramp |
| Geology comments: ENVIRONMENT: Fairly shallow, as larger foraminifera occur. In the Kirthar Range, the lithological description supports an deep subtidal environment, given the interbedding of cross-stratified or ripple-laminated sandstone with shale. | |
Taphonomy
| Modes of preservation: | body |
| Size of fossils: | macrofossils |
Collection methods and comments
| Collection methods: | surface (in situ),field collection |
| Reason for describing collection: | taxonomic analysis |
| Collectors: | Vredenburg |
| Collection method comments: COLLECTORS: Multiple collectors including W. Blanford, Wynne, Hira Lal, Ram Singh, and Noetling (staff of Geological Survey of India) during the early 1900's. REPOSITORY: Geological Survey of India, with voucher specimens possibly at the BMNH. | |
| Taxonomic list comments:COVERAGE: Exhaustive for gastropoda, bivalvia, and scaphopoda. NOMENCLATURE: Antiquated, but from an authoritative publication, with use of species and subgenus resolution assignments. Nomenclature can be updated through reference to Harzhauser and Swarko publications. | |
