2 km NE of Jagtambo Village (Pliocene of India)

Where: Jammu, India (32.8° N, 74.9° E: paleocoordinates 31.7° N, 75.4° E)

• coordinate based on nearby landmark

• small collection-level geographic resolution

When: Nagrota Formation, Late/Upper Pliocene (3.6 - 2.6 Ma)

• Yokoyama et al. 1987: Fission track age of ash bed from the base of the Nagrota Fm. yields an age of approximately 2.9Ma
