Kalol #F well [Kalol Fm] (Eocene to of India)

Where: India (23.3° N, 72.5° E: paleocoordinates 0.7° N, 64.1° E)

• coordinate based on nearby landmark

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Kalol Formation, Ypresian to Ypresian (56.0 - 41.3 Ma)

• STRATIGRAPHIC RELATIONS: From the Kalol Fm, which overlies the Cambay Fm (Late Paleocene-Early Eocene) and is overlain by the Tarapur Fm (Late Eocene). AGE: Early-Middle Eocene in text; here placed in Ypresian-Lutetian to avoid stratigraphic orphaning. STRATIGRAPHIC POSITION: From unknown position within section; presumably representative for formation.

• formation-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: marine; sandstone and shale

• SPECIFIC LITHOLOGY: From sandstone, siltstone, shale, and coal lithofacies. LITHIFICATION: Not stated in text.

Size class: microfossils
