Where: Slovakia (48.6° N, 17.4° E: paleocoordinates 47.8° N, 16.9° E)
• coordinate estimated from map
• outcrop-level geographic resolution
When: Lakšárska Nová Ves Formation, Burdigalian (20.4 - 16.0 Ma)
• Age assignment of these deposits relies on the co-occurrence of the foraminifera Uvigerina graciliformis Papp and Turnovsky, 1953 and Globigerinoides bisphericus Todd in Todd, Cloud, Low and Schmidt, 1954 and the absence of the genus Praeorbulina Olsson, 1964. The first appearance datum (FAD) of Uvigerina graciliformis marks the base of the 'Karpatian' stage (e.g. Piller et al. 2007), while that of G. bisphericus is within Zone M4b of Berggren et al. (1995), correlating with the upper 'Karpatian'. The appearance of Praeorbulina marks the start of the middle Miocene. The regional Paratethyan 'Karpatian' stage has consistently been considered to be the time-equivalent of the latest Burdigalian (Piller et al. 2007).
