Where: Pakistan (30.8° N, 68.1° E: paleocoordinates 21.1° N, 67.4° E)
• coordinate based on nearby landmark
• local area-level geographic resolution
When: Nisai Group, Early/Lower Oligocene (33.9 - 28.4 Ma)
• STRATIGRAPHIC RELATIONS: From the Nisai Group, which unconformably overlies the Parh Group and Hindubagh intrusions and is conformably overlain by the Murgha Faqirzai shale and Multana Fm.
