Where: Pakistan (25.3° N, 62.1° E: paleocoordinates 24.3° N, 61.4° E)
• coordinate based on nearby landmark
• local area-level geographic resolution
When: Hinglaj Group, Pliocene (5.3 - 2.6 Ma)

AGE: Miocene [Late]-Pliocene, based on faunal affinity. Assigned by the enterer to an intermediate age of Pliocene, from which most macrofossils share affinity. STRATIGRAPHIC POSITION: A composite list for the entire group.
• group-level stratigraphic resolution
