Where: Romania (44.8° N, 23.9° E: paleocoordinates 44.8° N, 23.8° E)

• coordinate based on nearby landmark

When: Early/Lower Pleistocene (2.6 - 0.8 Ma)

• Early Pleistocene. Faunal comparison indicates that the Middle Faunal Horizon (Tetoiu 2) correlates with the ?Tasso faunal unit, Seneze zone, Eburonian cold stage and Domashkinianhorizon/Odessan faunal complex. The middle faunal horizon corresponds to a general cooling and drying of the climate.

•The faunal remains were found at 'the base of a bed consisting of fine, partially consolidated sands, 0.7m thick.' The site is approximately 45m down from the top of the section.

Environment/lithology: fluvial-lacustrine
