Where: Lleida, Spain (42.0° N, 0.7° E)
• Paleocoordinates: 33.1° N, 7.8° E (Wright 2013)
• coordinate based on nearby landmark
• small collection-level geographic resolution
When: MP 8 + 9 mammal zone, Corca Formation, Ypresian (56.0 - 47.8 Ma)
• "The site was assigned to the Grauvian (MP10) by Antunes et al. (1997) on the basis of its mammalian fauna. However, after revision of the artiodactyl, perissodactyl, and rodent assemblage, Badiola et al. (2009) concluded that this level is older than previously considered, corresponding to the Neustrian (MP8+9, 51-56 Ma), and represents the oldest continental locality of the Àger sub-basin" (p.430)
• bed-level stratigraphic resolution
Environment/lithology: fluvial; claystone and sandstone
Size class: mesofossils
