Also known as 58 D/9, B.1

Where: India (9.0° N, 76.6° E: paleocoordinates 1.9° N, 72.7° E)

• coordinate stated in text

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Quilon Limestone Formation, Early/Lower Miocene (23.0 - 16.0 Ma)

• STRATIGRAPHIC RELATIONS: From the Quilon Limestone, which overlie unconformably Archean granites, and are regionally overlain by the Late Miocene Wakalay beds. THICKNESS: From 1-1.25 ft thick limestone within section of about 40 ft thick. AGE: Early MIocene based on multiple sources, including ostracod biostratigraphy (Khosla and Nagori, 1989) and vertebrate (Sahni and Mitra, 1980). STRATIGRAPHIC POSITION: From entire formation, which is found at the base of this section.

• bed-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: poorly lithified, gray, yellow, blue, argillaceous limestone
