Also known as Egerkingen
Where: Baselland, Switzerland (47.3° N, 7.8° E: paleocoordinates 44.7° N, 3.8° E)
• coordinate based on nearby landmark
• outcrop-level geographic resolution
When: Lutetian to Lutetian (47.8 - 38.0 Ma)
• Between the Bouxwiller and the Lissieu levels
• bed-level stratigraphic resolution
Environment/lithology: fissure fill; siderite
Size classes: macrofossils, mesofossils
Collection methods: This collection gathers all the specimens that could not be assigned to any of the other Egerkingen collections (fissures alpha, beta, etc...) based on the aspect of the fossils and the nature of the matrix. It is a collection 'by default' but that belongs to the Egerkingen fissure complex.
