Where: Kazakhstan (44.0° N, 79.0° E: paleocoordinates 44.2° N, 78.8° E)
• coordinate estimated from map
When: Pliocene (5.3 - 2.6 Ma)
• Late Pliocene, Early Villafranchian, MN16. At the base of the Ilian suite.

This suite was previously named as 'yellow brown suite' that expresses its general look rather correctly. It is composed of clays with beds and lenses of sandstones and gravels, coarsening at the base.'
