Where: Germany (48.6° N, 11.8° E)
• Paleocoordinates: 45.8° N, 13.7° E (Wright 2013)
• coordinate stated in text
• outcrop-level geographic resolution
When: Ober Süßwassermolasse Formation, MN 5 (16.0 - 13.8 Ma)
• The fossils from Sandelzhausen derive from a member of the OSM called Nördlicher Vollschotter, composed primarily of marl and gravel (Moser et al. 2009a). The age of these fossiliferous deposits was established by stratigraphic, biostratigraphic, and magnetostratigraphic correlations: the Early/Middle Miocene Burdigalian/Langhian boundary, early middle MN5 European Mammal Neogene zone (~16.47-16.27 Ma; Moser et al. 2009a).
