Lithology and environment
Environment:fissure fill
Taphonomy
Modes of preservation:body
Size of fossils:macrofossils,mesofossils
Disassociated major elements:many
Disassociated minor elements:many
Collection methods and comments
Collection excludes:some macrofossils,some microfossils
Collection methods:field collection
Reason for describing collection:paleoecologic analysis
Collection method comments: This collection gathers in fact two loci, distant of about 5 m and that were homogeneous in terms of facies and faunal components. These two sub-collection are merged in ref. 9929, which might be the only report for this locality.
Taxonomic list comments:The rodents are not included here but were described by Aguila (1980). Neither are the emballonurid, hipposiderid and molossid chiropterans.
