•Antoine et al. 2013: Given the faunal content and favored correlation to GPTS (see figure 16.4), this assemblage is tentatively correlated to the earliest Neogene standard age, the Aquitanian, and roughly correlated with the Xiejian Chinese Land Mammal Age (CLMA) and the Agenian European Land Mammal Age (ELMA), MN1–2.
• bed-level stratigraphic resolution
Environment/lithology: terrestrial; lithology not reported
Size classes: macrofossils, mesofossils
