Also known as Kyawywa

Where: Myanmar (21.8° N, 94.6° E: paleocoordinates 13.6° N, 95.3° E)

• coordinate based on nearby landmark

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Yaw Series Group, Priabonian (38.0 - 33.9 Ma)

• Pilgrim says that the Yaw Series overlies the Pondaung Sandstone, as does a later article (Colbert, 1938) who gives the age of the Yaw "stage" as Priabonian, based on faunal correlations.

• formation-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: brown, yellow sandstone and red, white, yellow siliciclastic

Size class: macrofossils

Collection methods: collected by B. B. Gupta, specimens housed in the Geological Museum, Calcutta
