Where: Ukraine (48.5° N, 35.0° E: paleocoordinates 48.0° N, 30.5° E)

• coordinate based on nearby landmark

• local area-level geographic resolution

When: NP19-NP20 nannofossil zone, Mandrikovka Formation, Priabonian (38.0 - 33.9 Ma)

• Obukhovian; This circumstance proves that typical Mandrikovka sands underlie rather than pass laterally into typical Obukhovian beds, i.e., they are slightly more ancient.

• group of beds-level stratigraphic resolution
