Where: Balochistan, Pakistan (29.7° N, 69.4° E: paleocoordinates 13.4° S, 57.8° E)

• coordinate stated in text

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Vitakri Formation (Fort Munro Group), Late/Upper Maastrichtian (70.6 - 66.0 Ma)

• "... upper Pab Formation, just below or on the boundary of Mesozoic (Cretaceous) and Cenozoic (Tertiary/Paleocene)."
