Where: Turkey (40.7° N, 32.6° E: paleocoordinates 41.1° N, 30.7° E)
• coordinate based on nearby landmark
• outcrop-level geographic resolution
When: Aquitanian (23.0 - 20.4 Ma)
• Age given as 22.5 Ma (presumably based on dating of volcanics associated with volcano-sedimentary paleolake), which places it in the earliest Miocene.
Environment/lithology: lacustrine - large; lithified diatomite
Size classes: macrofossils, mesofossils
Preservation: adpression
