Where: Russian Federation (52.6° N, 143.2° E: paleocoordinates 52.9° N, 141.9° E)

• coordinate based on nearby landmark

• local area-level geographic resolution

When: Okobykayskaya Formation, Late/Upper Miocene (11.6 - 5.3 Ma)

• STRATIGRAPHIC RELATIONS: From the lower Okobykayskaya suite of the "Okobykay" horizon, which lies below the "Pomyrlower Nutov" (Late Miocene) and above the "Dagi" (Middle Miocene) horizons. THICKNESS: Total thickness of unit is 1450 m. AGE: Late Miocene, on the basis of classification into the "Okobykay" horizon. STRATIGRAPHIC POSITION: Composite checklist for lower part of the "formation" in this area.
