Where: Pakistan (25.1° N, 63.8° E: paleocoordinates 25.1° N, 63.9° E)
• coordinate based on nearby landmark
• small collection-level geographic resolution
When: Jiwani Formation, Late/Upper Pleistocene (0.1 - 0.0 Ma)
• STRATIGRAPHIC RELATIONS: From the Jiwani Formation, which unconformably overlies the Ormara Fm, and is not covered by further strata (modern erosional surface). THICKNESS: As much as 10 ft. AGE: Pleistocene, based on faunal affinity with Recent and other Pleistocene faunas. Enterer assigns collection to Late Pleistocene age. STRATIGRAPHIC POSITION: Unknown position within formation.
• bed-level stratigraphic resolution
Environment/lithology: coastal; unlithified, shelly/skeletal, brown, gray, sandy, conglomeratic, calcareous mixed carbonate-siliciclastic sediments
Size class: macrofossils
Collection methods: COLLECTOR: Possibly L.R. Cox. REPOSITORY: Not reported in text, but probably BMNH.
