Geography
Country: Thailand
State: Lamphun
Coordinate: 17.72° N, 98.91° E
Coordinate basis: estimated from map
Time interval: Early Miocene
Zone: MN4
Geography comments: in the south of Lamphun Province (coordinate based on Ang Kep Nam Mae Long reservoir, apparently the only feature in this province with a name including Mae Long)
assigned to the beginning of MN4 based on biochronology

Environment
Lithology: claystone
Taphonomic context: lake deposit
Habitat comments: there are two fossiliferous levels separated by 1 m, but the taxonomic list is merged and most of the bulk samples are from the lower one
the lithology is not discussed beyond being "argiles"
the environment is interpreted as being adjacent to a large body of water, presumably meaning a lake
