Where: Malaysia (5.5° N, 117.0° E)
• Paleocoordinates: 5.3° N, 117.4° E (Wright 2013)
• outcrop-level geographic resolution
When: Togopi Formation, Pliocene to Pliocene (5.3 - 0.0 Ma)
• STRATIGRAPHIC RELATIONS: From Togopi Fm. Unknown lithostratigraphic relationships. THICKNESS: Unit of unknown thickness. Collections assumed to be from individual beds. AGE: Debated. Cox (1948) suggested a Pliocene, if not Late Miocene age; Nuttall (1961) suggested Quaternary, but possibly Pliocene; Nuttall (1965) suggested a Plio-Pleistocene age. A Pliocene-Pleistocene age is assigned here. STRATIGRAPHIC POSITION: From unknown position within unit.
• bed-level stratigraphic resolution
Environment/lithology:
Size class: macrofossils
Collection methods: COLLECTOR: Collected by Wenk. Most of the Wenk collection is apparently now lost (in transit). REPOSITORY: Unknown.
