Geography
Country:Russian Federation State/province:West Siberia
Coordinates: 50.0° North, 86.7° East (view map)
Paleocoordinates:50.0° North, 86.6° East
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.
