Where: West Java, Indonesia (7.5° S, 108.4° E: paleocoordinates 7.8° S, 110.3° E)

• coordinate stated in text

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: N13 nannofossil zone, Lower Member (Nyalindung Formation), Serravallian (13.8 - 11.6 Ma)

• The reported Late/late Middle Miocene planktonic foraminifers identified by LEMIGAS (Indonesian Petroleum and Gas Department) indicate zone N13 or F12 Ma (Baumann, 1972; Baumann et al., 1973), with conversion from Neogene Zonation to absolute age based on Saito (1999). Also, a Middle Miocene age is indicated by foraminifers such as Orbulina universa and Globigerinoides subquadratus (Aswan and Zaim, 1998). In this study we also estimate it to be Middle Miocene in age based on planktonic foraminifers; it contains such as Sphaeroidinellopsis seminulina, Gds. obliquus and O. universa which are found in the lower part of this section in bed dAT (Dr Tsunemasa Saito, Tokyo Research Institution, pers. comm.). The formation was deposited in shallow marine to terrestrial environments, and grades laterally into the Bojonglopang Member of Cimandiri Formation, which is partly covered by Beser Formation (Sukamto, 1990). We infer therefore that the geological age of the Nyalindung Formation in this section is late Middle Miocene.
