Kari Orang, East Kalimantan, TF275 (Miocene of Indonesia)

Where: Indonesia (1.0° N, 117.0° E: paleocoordinates 1.6° N, 119.7° E)

• coordinate stated in text

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Burdigalian (20.4 - 16.0 Ma)

• Early Burdigalian age, 18-20 Ma

Environment/lithology: shallow subtidal; sandy sandstone

• subtidal shallow water environment with calm waters. The thin orange-yellow coloured horizon containing reef corals overlies a bed >5 m thick of grey silty clays with mollusc and azooxanthellate corals typical of the upper bathyal zone, ~200 m depth. The

•erosive base of the reefal horizon on the upper bathyal bed suggests that the former bed containing corals

•is a turbidite carried down into the bathyal

• fine sand

Size class: macrofossils

Collection methods: NMNH
