Stratigraphy
Stratigraphic resolution: | group of beds | ||||
Stratigraphy comments: The level might be related to the MP 13 European mammal level; Solé et al. (2020) suggest a late Ypresian-early Lutetian age |
Lithology and environment
Primary lithology: | lithified "limestone" |
Includes fossils? | Y |
Lithology description: Massive, hard, crystalline lacustrine limestone | |
Environment: | lacustrine indet. |
Taphonomy
Modes of preservation: | body |
Size of fossils: | macrofossils |
Preservation of anatomical detail: | good |
Collection methods and comments
Collection methods: | chemical,field collection |
Reason for describing collection: | taxonomic analysis |
Collection method comments: The hard matrix necessitated a very long acid attack for preparation. | |
Taxonomic list comments:The taxa listed in ref. 8517 are just said to belong to "Aumelas", but they most probably come from Aumelas 1 since Aumelas 2 is said to have yielded only "undeterminable material". |
