Geography
| Country: | New Zealand |
| Coordinates: | 43.6° South, 171.7° East (view map) |
| Paleocoordinates: | 49.0° South, 176.1° West |
| Basis of coordinate: | estimated from map |
Time
| Period: | Neogene | Epoch: | Miocene |
| 10 m.y. bin: | Cenozoic 5 | ||
| Key time interval: | Otaian | ||
| Age range of interval: | 21.70000 - 18.70000 m.y. ago |
Stratigraphy
| Formation: | Omihi | Member: | Berrydale Greensand | ||
| Stratigraphic resolution: | group of beds | ||||
| Stratigraphy comments: Foraminifera indicate Duntroonian-Waitakian age (Andrews 1963). Greensand age often given as Waitakian (e.g. Keyes, 1972), but more recent papers (Lee & Wilson, 1979; MacKinnon et al., 1993) give age as Otaian. Stratigraphic unit is the Berrydale Greensand, according to Fryer (1999). | |||||
