| Taiwan Strait (former Tsochen) | The fossil was originally claimed to be found in the Chiting Formation of Zuojhen (also known as Chochen or; Figure 1), Tainan (Tao, 1985). However, Hu and Tao (1993) corrected the locality, confirming that the actual locality is the sea bottom of the Taiwan Strait (between Taiwan and the Penghu Islands, Figure 1). Abundant vertebrate fossils have been dredged up by fishermen, but the stratigraphic data or its geological age remains uncertain. | Middle Pleistocene zwischen 0.01 und 0.78 Millionen Jahren |

| The age control of fossils from the sea bottom of Taiwan Strait remains unresolved, and we here also follow Tsai and Chang (2019) that it should be broadly dated Middle to Late Pleistocene (0.78 to 0.01 million years ago). | "unconsolidated muddy sandstone" | The fossil turtle was imbedded in an unconsolidated muddy sandstone, which also-contains abundant mammalian bones, fish teeth, mollusks, foraminifers, bryozoa and crabs. |

| "Since the Late Pleistocene, the Hengchun Peninsula was uplifted at a rate of 26 mm/yr (Chen et al., 2005) and thus gave rise to the development of coral reef and limestone (Hengchun Limestone)." "Most of the limestone in the cave is covered by a layer of reddish sediment composed of limestone pebbles and fossils, though the boundary between the reddish sediment and Hengchun Limestone is unclear. A flow stone made of carbonate calcite was found 7 m away from the cave entry, and the fossil-bearing sediments are found behind it. The fossil-bearing sediments are characterized by a mixture of reddish sand and mud, as well as limestone pebbles, which shows a great similarity to the Eluanbi Bed." |
