Where: Pakistan (26.1° N, 67.9° E: paleocoordinates 8.6° N, 62.0° E)

• coordinate stated in text

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Tiyon Formation, Lutetian (47.8 - 41.3 Ma)

• STRATIGRAPHIC RELATIONS: From the Tiyon Fm, which gradationally overlies the Laki Fm (Ypresian) and is gradationally overlain by the Kirthar Fm (Late Middle Eocene-Early Miocene). THICKNESS: 439 ft thick in total. AGE: Early Eocene-early Middle Eocene (Hunting Survey Corporation). Iqbal suggests that the age is not as old as Early Eocene, but is Middle Eocene. A Lutetian age is assigned by the enterer. STRATIGRAPHIC POSITION: From unknown position within formation.

• bed-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: coastal; poorly lithified, gypsiferous, shelly/skeletal, gray, green, yellow, calcareous shale

Size class: macrofossils

Collected by Iqbal in 1966, 1972

Collection methods: surface (in situ),

• COLLECTOR: Iqbal (1966, 1972). REPOSITPRY: Geological Survey of Pakistan, Quetta.
