Z151 (Miocene of Pakistan)

Also known as Z 151; 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, Aquitanian (23.0 - 20.4 Ma)

• Upper part of the Chitarwata Formation

•Antoine et al. 2013: Given the faunal content and favored correlation to GPTS (see figure 16.4), this assemblage is tentatively correlated to the earliest Neogene standard age, the Aquitanian, and roughly correlated with the Xiejian Chinese Land Mammal Age (CLMA) and the Agenian European Land Mammal Age (ELMA), MN1–2.

• bed-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: terrestrial; lithology not reported

Size classes: macrofossils, mesofossils
