Eichkogel, Mödling (Papp collection, University of Vienna) (Miocene of Austria)

Where: Niederoesterreich, Austria (48.1° N, 16.3° E: paleocoordinates 47.8° N, 16.1° E)

• coordinate based on nearby landmark

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: MN 11 (8.7 - 7.8 Ma)

• bed-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: lacustrine; brown marl

• Below a layer, 15 cm in thickness, which is strongly weathered, is a layer of light-brown marl, 120 cm thick, which nearly contains all of the vertebrate fossils. Below that layer there is a small (15 cm) layer of limestone with big Gastropods (Galactochilus sp.). They are followed by 20-25 cm of colloured marls, where are only found single bone-fragments and teeth-fragments. Below that are clay- and sandlayers without fossils.

Size class: mesofossils

Preservation: original aragonite

Collection methods: bulk, sieve

• Repository: Institute of Paleontology, University of Vienna
