Where: Java, Indonesia (7.1° S, 113.1° E: paleocoordinates 7.1° S, 115.6° E)

• coordinate based on nearby landmark

• local area-level geographic resolution

When: N8-N9 foram zone, Tawun Formation, Langhian (16.0 - 13.8 Ma)

• Aus dem Lepidocyclinen führenden Miocan. Traditionally given as Rembang, but this seems to be disused. Sharaf et al. (2005): middle Miocene in Lodan anticline is Ngrayong Formation; early-middle Miocene is Tuban. However, Robba (1996) has the Tuban split into the Tuban (lower) and Tuwan. "The Tawun Formation basically corresponds to the Rembang Beds of earlier authors and, in particular, to the orbitoid limestone as intended by Marks (1956)."

• formation-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: marine; sandstone and marl

Size class: macrofossils
