Stratigraphy
Geological group:Pulubalang
Stratigraphic resolution:bed
Stratigraphy comments: Difficult to fix the age precisely, considering the stratigrahic range of the species. Cannot give the fauna a more definate position than the one which may be indicated as equal to the Javanese West Progo- or Rembang series. The locality of the Pulu Balang fauna is probably in the Pulubalang series should have an upper Miocene age.
