Basis of coordinate: | estimated from map |
Time
Period: | Quaternary | Epoch: | Pleistocene |
10 m.y. bin: | Cenozoic 6 | ||
Key time interval: | Early/Lower Pleistocene - Middle Pleistocene | ||
Age range of interval: | 2.58800 - 0.12600 m.y. ago |
Stratigraphy
Regional section: | Kuznetsk | ||||
Stratigraphy comments: Although the title of the paper says late Pliocene, in this sequence the base of Pleistocene is taken to be 0.8Ma = Early Middle Pleistocene. So this site is equivalent to the Lower/Middle Pleistocene, as the specimen is recorded as either the upper member of the Sergeyevsk suite, or the basal part of the Kedrovsk suite. |
