Sangatta, East Kalimantan, TF517 (Miocene of Indonesia)
Where: Indonesia (1.0° N, 117.0° E: paleocoordinates 1.1° N, 117.6° E)
• coordinate stated in text
• outcrop-level geographic resolution
When: Tortonian (11.6 - 7.2 Ma)
• 8.9-9.3 Ma
Environment/lithology: lagoonal or restricted shallow subtidal; silty sandstone
• silty-sand rich sediments together with large colonies of merulinids of the genera Dipsastraea, Favites and Platygyra, and adjacent to organic-rich sediments with probable fossil seagrass-leaves (Reich et al., submitted). This environment has been interpreted as shallow, calm water, probably a backreef lagoon.
