Where: Romania (44.8° N, 23.9° E: paleocoordinates 44.8° N, 23.8° E)
• coordinate based on nearby landmark
When: Early/Lower Pleistocene (2.6 - 0.8 Ma)
• Early Pleistocene. Faunal comparison indicates that the Middle Faunal Horizon (Tetoiu 2) correlates with the ?Tasso faunal unit, Seneze zone, Eburonian cold stage and Domashkinianhorizon/Odessan faunal complex. The middle faunal horizon corresponds to a general cooling and drying of the climate. Approximately the same depth as Fintina Alortitei - roughly 45m below the top of the section, in a sandy deposit.
Environment/lithology: fluvial-lacustrinesandy
Size class: macrofossils
