Where: Bayern, Germany (48.6° N, 11.2° E: paleocoordinates 48.9° N, 9.8° E)
• coordinate based on nearby landmark
When: MN 5 (16.0 - 13.7 Ma)
• MN5"a"; Obere Süßwassermolasse (Upper Freshwater Molasse), Lower Tortonian, Upper Helvetian is also possible.
•After Bollinger 1994: MN5"a" (=lower MN5).
•MN5 is at the Burdigalian/Langhian boundary. "Tortonian" was used in a different context in the eastern Paratethys.
