Geography
Country:Austria
Coordinates: 48.5° North, 15.8° East (view map)
Paleocoordinates:47.7° North, 15.3° East
Basis of coordinate:stated in text
Geographic resolution:outcrop
Time
Period:Neogene Epoch:Miocene
Stage:Burdigalian 10 m.y. bin:Cenozoic 5
Key time interval:Burdigalian
Age range of interval:20.44000 - 15.98000 m.y. ago
Stratigraphy
Formation:Fels
Stratigraphic resolution:group of beds
Stratigraphy comments: STRATIGRAPHIC RELATIONS: From the Fels Fm, which conformably overlies the St. Marein-Freischling Fm (Aquitanian), and is conformably overlain by the Zellerndorf Fm (Burdigalian). THICKNESS: Unknown, but presumably from bed or group of beds within formation. AGE: Eggenburgian local stage = Burdigalian. STRATIGRAPHIC POSITION: From unknown position within formation.
Lithology and environment
Primary lithology:fine unlithified sandstone
Includes fossils?Y
Lithology description: SPECIFIC LITHOLOGY: Fine sands. LITHIFICATION: Unlithified, assumed on the basis of comments regarding preservation and ease of sampling.
Environment:transition zone/lower shoreface
Glacial or sequence phase:transgressive
Geology comments: ENVIRONMENT: Restricted to fully marine environment in marginal basin, deposited during transgression. According to Steininger (1963), the deposits at Fels/Wagram represent a fully marine biotope of the sublittoral to shallow-neritic zone, with no influence whatever of brackish water being noticeable. In the Fels/Wagram area, the lower part of the formation is coarse sand, representing sublittoral (shoreface) environments, but the environments deep upward to deep sublittoral to shallow neritic. As this locality is composed of fine, the deep sublittoral/shallow neritic (offshore transition) environment may be more likely.
