Stratigraphy comments: Level C is the third to lowest level (site goes level Jb). Dated to earliest Middle Pleistocene (overlies the Brunhes/Matuyama boundary). Early Cromerian (zones 1-2), Late Biharian, similar to West Runton upper freshwater bed, Sussenborn, etc. |
Lithology and environment
Lithology description: floodloam | |
Environment: | fluvial indet. |
Taphonomy
Size of fossils: | macrofossils,mesofossils |
Collection methods and comments
Collection size: | 30 specimens |
Reason for describing collection: | biostratigraphic analysis |
Collection method comments: Collection size doesn't include mollusc counts (not given in this paper).
Mollusca indicate a humid environment and rather cold climatic conditions. | |
Taxonomic list comments:This horizon also contains some redeposited fragments of interglacial molluscs such as Ena montana and Cepaea sp. |
