Stage:	Langhian	10 m.y. bin:	Cenozoic 5
*Period:	Tertiary	*Local age/stage:	Early/Lower Clarendonian
Key time interval:	Langhian
Age range of interval:	15.98 - 13.82 m.y. ago
* legacy (obsolete) database fields

Modes of preservation:	body
Size of fossils:	macrofossils

Reason for describing collection:	general faunal/floral analysis
Taxonomic list comments:not the same as the upper Bone Valley Swift Mine fauna (see) may be temporally mixed
