Where: Punjab, India (30.8° N, 76.8° E: paleocoordinates 30.5° N, 76.9° E)

• coordinate based on nearby landmark

When: Pinjor Formation (Siwalik Group), Early/Lower Pleistocene to Early/Lower Pleistocene (2.6 - 0.1 Ma)

• The specimen of P. platyrhinum was found in the Upper Siwaliks at the base of the Pinjor Stage. The Pinjor Formation ranges in age from 2.58 Ma to 0.6 Ma. Since the specimen was found near the base, it is likely Early Pleistocene in age.

Environment/lithology: terrestrial; lithology not reported

Size class: macrofossils

• Specimen A/559 housed in the Department of Geology, Panjab University, Chandigarh is a relatively complete skull
