Z149 (Oligocene to of Pakistan)

Also known as Z 149; Zinda Pir Dome

Where: Baluchistan, Pakistan (30.1° N, 70.3° E: paleocoordinates 23.1° N, 70.4° E)

• coordinate based on nearby landmark

• small collection-level geographic resolution

When: Chitarwata Formation, Late/Upper Oligocene to Late/Upper Oligocene (28.4 - 16.0 Ma)

• Upper part of the Chitarwata Formation.

•Upper part of Chitarwata is earliest Miocene, and list of taxa suggests earliest Miocene age, but stratigraphic position of Z149 suggests Late Oligocene age (e.g. Antoine et al. 2013)

• bed-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: terrestrial; lithology not reported

Size classes: macrofossils, mesofossils
