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
Size class: microfossils
