| Collection | Reference | Stratigraphic Name | Comments | Lithology | Age |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Antsirabe (MfN collection) | Hampe O., Schwarz-Wings D., et al (2010) | Radiocarbon ages mostly Pleistocene (19250 to 17100 YBP) but some are very young Holocene (90 YBP). | not reported | 0.126 - 0 Ma Quaternary | |
| Antsirabe (MNHN collection) | MacPhee R. D. E. (1994) | subfossil. Radiocarbon dates from Antsirabe mostly Pleistocene (19250 to 17100 YBP) but also young Holocene (90 YBP). | not reported | 0.126 - 0 Ma Quaternary | |
| Near Antsirabe | Mook C. C. (1921) | "Although most Quaternary deposits in Madagascar are Holocene, some of the radiocarbon dates reported from Antsirabe by Burney et al. (2004) are slightly older than 20 Ka. It is thus possible that MCZ 1006 is from the uppermost part of the Pleistocene" (Brochu 2007) | not reported | 0.126 - 0 Ma Quaternary | |
| Sirabé (BMNH collection) | Andrews C. W. | "By far the greater number of specimens were obtained from a depth of twelve to fifteen feet." Radiocarbon dates from Antsirabe mostly Pleistocene (19250 to 17100 YBP) but also young Holocene (90 YBP). | not reported | 0.126 - 0.0117 Ma Pleistocene |
