Where: Catalonia, Spain (41.5° N, 1.9° E: paleocoordinates 41.8° N, 1.0° E)

• coordinate estimated from map

When: Middle Miocene to Middle Miocene (16.0 - 5.3 Ma)

• ["The sediments affected in the works of the B-40 are located in the context of the Vallès-Penedès basin... The sediments of the affected area in this paleontological intervention correspond to the higher continental complexes, which have an age between the middle Miocene (Aragonian) and the upper Miocene (Turolian)."] - translated from the Spanish in Alba et al. (2010)
