Where: Piedmont, Italy (44.9° N, 8.0° E: paleocoordinates 44.8° N, 8.0° E)

• coordinate based on nearby landmark

When: MN 16 (3.2 - 2.6 Ma)

• Villanyian, Late Pliocene. Not stated which unit the micromammals from RDB come from (macromammals come from Unit B).

Environment/lithology: fluvial-lacustrine

Size class: mesofossils

Collection methods: Possibly a subset of PBD 27023. Not sure whether the microfauna and plant remains come from the same deposit - both say fluvio-lacustrine.
