| Age range of interval: | 8.70000 - 5.33300 m.y. ago |
Stratigraphy
| Formation: | Tavildara | ||||
| Regional section: | Afrghan-Tadzik depression | ||||
| Stratigraphy comments: Tavildara = late Magian suite. Upper Miocene (MN12), Late Turolian. Strongly carbonised, hard aleurites of dark and light brown colour. The fossiliferous horizon which is 20-30cm thick, lies in the upper part of the section, 40m above the level of the river with an inclination of 3-5 degrees south. | |||||
Lithology and environment
| Primary lithology: | red or brown siltstone |
| Secondary lithology: | conglomerate |
| Lithology description: 'Atributed to the Karanak suite that consists of reddish-brown ill-sorted siltstones with conglomeratic layers and lenses.' | |
Taphonomy
| Size of fossils: | macrofossils |
Collection methods and comments
| Reason for describing collection: | biostratigraphic analysis |
| Collection method comments: Site discovered in 1978. There are two different faunal lists (as a result of 2 different excavations), with no overlap except Hipparion, so both have been entered. | |
| Taxonomic list comments:Bovidae or tragelaphinae also present | |
