CAG-3.—A small exposure in a small creek, Tjikantjaora, in Tjiangsana village | Kase T., Kurihara Y., et al (2015) | Nyalindung - Upper | Lower to middle part of formation. Oostingh (1938) designated the Nyalindung Formation as the stratotype of the Preangerian Stage, an Indonesian Neogene stage approximately equivalent to the middle Miocene (Bemmelen, 1972). However, a nannofossil analysis by one of the authors has shown that the mollusk-bearing lower to middle part of the formation in the Tjitalahab valley contains the marker species Discoaster hamatus, indicating Martini’s (1971) NN9 nannofossil zone (ca. 10 Ma; early late Mio | siltstone | 11.62 - 7.246 Ma Miocene |
