Also known as Z 113; Zinda Pir Dome

Where: Baluchistan, Pakistan (30.1° N, 70.3° E: paleocoordinates 23.1° N, 70.4° E)

• coordinate based on nearby landmark

• small collection-level geographic resolution

When: Chitarwata Formation, Aquitanian (23.0 - 20.4 Ma)

• Base of the upper unit of the Chitarwata Formation in section B of Lindsay et al. (2005), who give alternative interpretations of age. The site is 25mbelow reversed rock strata considered to represent the top of either Chron C8r or C6Br; the age would be interpolated as about 27 Ma or 23.5 Ma.

•Antoine et al. 2013: "Given the faunal content and favored correlation to GPTS (see figure 16.4), this assemblage is tentatively correlated to the earliest Neogene standard age, the Aquitanian, and roughly correlated with the Xiejian Chinese Land Mammal Age (CLMA) and the Agenian European Land Mammal Age (ELMA), MN1–2."

• bed-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: terrestrial; lithology not reported

Size class: mesofossils
