A magnetostratigraphic study on four sections near Pinjor showed that the Tatrot stage falls in the Personal Cooling Gauss magnetic epoch and the Pinjor corresponds to most of the Matuyama epoch.A significant faunal change, already observed by other authors in Pakistan, marks the Tatrot-Pinjor boundary and approximately coincides with the Gauss-Matuyama transition.Sedimentation becomes entirely conglomeratic in a positive episode tentatively interpreted as Jaramillo.

The time interval represented by this event witnessed a deep climatic change in Europa Course a pied - Accessoires - Bas and an extensive faunal turnover in all Eurasia, and seems also to correspond to the onset of a strong tectonic activity in the Himalayan belt.
