Where: Karlovy Vary, Czech Republic (50.1° N, 12.4° E: paleocoordinates 50.4° N, 10.9° E)

• coordinate based on nearby landmark

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: MN 4 (16.9 - 16.0 Ma)

• The Dolnice locality belongs to the upper part of the so called "coal seam beds" and is located immediately above the main lignite seam with its grey and brown mudstones (so called "Kapuzin-Tone"). The "coal seam beds" are overlain by the muddy to clayey Cypris beds which are characterized by ostracode bearing freshwater limestone lenses. The upper "coal seam beds" are subdivided into 3 fossiliferous horizons, named Dolnice 1-3 of which Dolnice 1 is the stratigraphically deepest (Fejfar, 1974).

• group of beds-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: fluvial-lacustrine; calcareous siltstone

Size classes: macrofossils, mesofossils

• This collection comprises fossils which have been collected during systematic excavations in the second half of the 20th century. All(?) of the material is housed in the Department of Paleontology of the Faculty of Natural Sciences, Charles University, Prague (DP-FNSP).
