Where: France (43.5° N, 3.7° E: paleocoordinates 43.5° N, 1.9° E)

• coordinate based on nearby landmark

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Early/Lower Miocene (23.0 - 16.0 Ma)

• Said to derive from the calcareous bone breccia (Tertiary?). Fossiliferous fissure-fill/karst deposits in the Bouzigues area are Early Miocene (possible Early-Middle Miocene) in age. It is not certain whether the isopod came from those fissure-fills, but the age is assumed here.

• group of beds-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: fissure fill; lithified phosphorite

Size class: macrofossils
