Bhagothoro (Yale-GSP Locality 6) (Miocene of Pakistan)

Also known as Manchar

Where: Sind, Pakistan (26.3° N, 67.8° E: paleocoordinates 22.7° N, 68.4° E)

• coordinate estimated from map

• small collection-level geographic resolution

When: Manchar Formation, Serravallian (13.8 - 11.6 Ma)

• "more than 13 my old" and substantially less than "15 or 16 my old" (probably equivalent to Serravallian)

• group of beds-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: fluvial; silty sandstone

• this part of the section consists almost entirely of "sandstone , often silty" that is "frequently trough cross-bedded"

Size class: macrofossils

Collection methods: new collection made in 1975 and/or 1976
