Also known as Primate Resort Yarshe Kyitchaung UCMP V83116 Bh1
Where: Myanmar (21.8° N, 94.7° E: paleocoordinates 13.0° N, 93.1° E)
• coordinate estimated from map
• outcrop-level geographic resolution
When: Pondaung Formation, Bartonian (41.3 - 38.0 Ma)
• The whole sequence of units was originally defined as the ‘Pondaung Sandstones’ by Cotter (1914), but the horizon yielding Eocene vertebrate fossils is now known as the ‘Upper Member’ of the Pondaung Formation (see Maung et al. 2005). The most recent age for this unit is ~39–38 Ma and so it can be regarded as middle Bartonian (see Tsubamoto et al. 2011).
• group of beds-level stratigraphic resolution
Environment/lithology: terrestrial; brown, yellow sandstone and paleosol/pedogenic, concretionary, red, calcareous siltstone
Size class: macrofossils
Reposited in the UCMP
Collection methods: surface (in situ),
• many specimens housed at the National Museum of Myanmar
