Daten zu den einzelnen Funden von Pondaungia cotteri
| Sammlung | Kommentar zum Fundort | Epoche, Alter | Geologie, Formation | Kommentar zur Sammlung |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mogaung 5, Pondaung Sandstone | 0.5 mi NW Mogaung | Bartonian zwischen 38 und 41.3 Millionen Jahren |
Pondaung | AMNH A17 |

| The whole sequence of units was originally defined as the ‘Pondaung Sandstones’ by Cotter (1914), but the horizon yielding Eocene vertebrate fossils is now known as the ‘Upper Member’ of the Pondaung Formation (see Maung et al. 2005). The most recent age for this unit is ~39–38 Ma and so it can be regarded as middle Bartonian (see Tsubamoto et al. 2011). | successive beds of cherry-red, bright buff and cream-white earths interstratified with brown or buff sandstones | AMNH |
