Also known as Aumelas
Where: Languedoc-Roussillon Region, France (43.6° N, 3.6° E: paleocoordinates 39.6° N, 0.7° E)
• coordinate estimated from map
• outcrop-level geographic resolution
When: MP 13 mammal zone, Ypresian to Ypresian (56.0 - 41.3 Ma)
• The level might be related to the MP 13 European mammal level; Solé et al. (2020) suggest a late Ypresian-early Lutetian age
• group of beds-level stratigraphic resolution
Environment/lithology: lacustrine; lithified limestone
Size class: macrofossils
Collection methods: chemical,
• The hard matrix necessitated a very long acid attack for preparation.
