Where: Austria (47.2° N, 14.6° E: paleocoordinates 46.7° N, 14.2° E)

• coordinate based on nearby landmark

• local area-level geographic resolution

When: M5 foram zone, Florian Formation, Badenian (13.7 - 12.7 Ma)

• Might be Eibiswald: but Handler et al (2006: Geological Carpathica 57:463-494) note rich molluscan faunas associated with volcanic tuffs in Florian. Formation is M5-M7, NN4-NN5; MN5-MN6. Florian is laterally correlated with Wessenegg. Volcanic layers called Weitendorf, and correlated to M5, NN4 & MN5.
