Where: Indonesia (7.0° S, 106.6° E: paleocoordinates 9.1° S, 114.2° E)

• coordinate stated in text

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Nyalindung Formation, Middle Miocene (16.0 - 11.6 Ma)

• STRATIGRAPHIC RELATIONS: Formerly referred to as Nyalindung Mbr of Cimandiri Fm (Sukamoto, 1990). Overlying Jampang Fm.
