PBDB Collection

Eichkogel, Mödling (NHMW collection) (Miocene of Austria)

Where: Niederoesterreich, Austria (48.1° N, 16.3° E)

• Paleocoordinates: 46.5° N, 17.1° E (Wright 2013)

• coordinate based on nearby landmark

When: MN 11 (8.7 - 7.9 Ma)

• entered as Zanclean, but MN 11 according to van den Hoek Ostende (pers. commun. to Alroy)

• bed-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: lacustrine; brown marl and limestone

• Below a layer, 15 cm in thickness, which is strongly weathered, is a layer of light-brown marl, 120 cm thick, which nearly contains all of the vertebrate fossils. Below that layer there is a small (15 cm) layer of limestone with big Gastropods (Galactochilus sp.). They are followed by 20-25 cm of colloured marls, where are only found single bone-fragments and teeth-fragments. Below that are clay- and sandlayers without fossils.

Size class: mesofossils

Preservation: original aragonite

Reposited in the NHMW

Collection methods: bulk, sieve,
