node minimum age 10.4 Ma The Dhok Pathan Formation is dated by means of detailed field stratigraphic study, including magnetostratigraphy and radiometric dating (Johnson et al., 1985; Barry et al., 2002). These indicate an absolute age in the vicinity of 10.4 Ma, within the Tortonian stage. The upper limit of the Tortonian is 7.246 Ma (Gradstein et al., 2012). | ||
|
node maximum age 14 Ma The soft maximum constraint on this date is taken as the oldest record of Antemurus at 14.0 Ma, correlating with the Langhian stage with a lower bound of 16 Ma. | ||
