Supplemental Figure 1. Stratigraphic log of the new fossiliferous locality of Paali (Bugti Hills). The locality of Paali, replaced in the local stratigraphy (compared with the synthetic stratigraphic section of Dera Bugti (5)), occurs in the lowermost fluvio-deltaic levels of the Bugti Oligocene continental sequence (Chitarwata Formation, Bugti Member, equivalent to the Oligocene Nari Formation), which are unconformably situated above the latest deposits of the marine Eocene Kirthar Formation. The locality is situated about 25 m above the contact between the Chitarwata and the Kirthar formations, and about 60 m below what we consider to be the earliest Miocene deposits. Bone symbols placed on the right of each stratigraphic section indicate the successive fossiliferous levels recorded in both southern and northern sides respectively of the Zin anticline (Fig. 1). Fossiliferous correspondences between the southern and northern sides of the Zin anticline have been established on the basis of direct lithostratigraphic and faunal comparisons (5).
