Geiseltal (GPIUH collection) (Eocene of Germany)

Where: Sachsen-Anhalt, Germany (51.3° N, 12.0° E: paleocoordinates 48.3° N, 7.7° E)

• coordinate based on nearby landmark

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Lutetian (47.8 - 41.3 Ma)

• The coallayer is at the border of Cusien to Lutetian

•Franzen & Haubold 1986: lower Middle Eocene

Environment/lithology: mire or swamp; lignite and shale

• Geiseltal comes from a swampy environment. Subsidence caused by dissolution of underlying salts and anhydrite ("volcanic basin" is the closest tectonic setting category).

Size class: macrofossils

Preservation: adpression

Collection methods: bulk,

• Repository: Geological-Paläontological Museum of the University of Hamburg (GPIUH)
