| Basis of coordinate: | stated in text |
| Geographic resolution: | outcrop |
Time
| Period: | Neogene | Epoch: | Pliocene |
| Stage: | Zanclean | 10 m.y. bin: | Cenozoic 6 |

Stratigraphy
| Stratigraphy comments: "fossils belonging to the Kuchurgan faunal complex, which corresponds to the early Pliocene (Ruscinium)." (Baryshnikov & Zakharov, 2013) |
Lithology and environment
| Primary lithology: | sandstone |
| Lithology description: "The section reveals the strata of alluvial sediment divided into 4 layers (Chepalyga et al. 2011). The lower darkgray loamy-alluvial layer (thickness 2.0–3.5 m) is overlaid by yellow and yellow-gray sands (thickness 6.0–7.0 m) bearing the majority of mammal fossil remains. The geological unit situated above is formed by sandy-loam sediment (thickness 1.0–2.5 m) and by present-day soil (thickness 1.0–1.5 m)." (Baryshnikov & Zakharov, 2013) | |
| Environment: | fluvial indet. |
Taphonomy
| Modes of preservation: | body |
| Size of fossils: | macrofossils |
