Raup–Crick genus-level faunal similarity to Pikermi, using inverse temperature colors to avoid confusion with the hypsodonty map (Fig. 3). High similarity is indicated by blue colors, low similarity by reds, yellows, and greens. Dots indicate the positions of localities of the interval in question. (A) Spatiotemporal block generated in RockWorks. (B) Stacked and inclined timeslice images to show temporal change in distribution patterns. (C) Face-on view of timeslices, MN12 (V) enlarged and present-day base map with all localities shown. I, MN7 + 8; II, MN9; III, MN10; IV, MN11; V, MN12; VI, MN13; VII, MN14; VIII, MN15; P, Pikermi; S, Samos; M, Maragheh.
