Cerova-Lieskove (Miocene of Slovakia)

Where: Slovakia (48.6° N, 17.4° E: paleocoordinates 47.7° N, 16.9° E)

• coordinate based on nearby landmark

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Laksarska Nova Ves Formation, Burdigalian (20.4 - 16.0 Ma)

• STRATIGRAPHIC RELATIONS: From the of the Laksarska Nova Ves Formation, for which lithostratigraphic relationships are not discussed. AGE: A late Karpatian age of the deposits is determined based on the co-occurrence of the foraminiferal taxa Uvigerina graciliformis and Globigerinoides bisphericus, and the absence of Praeorbulina. The Lowest Occurrence (LO) of U. graciliformis delineates the base of the Karpatian stage, the LO of G. bisphericus occurs within Zone M4b of Berggren et al. (1995) and correlates with the late Karpatian, and the LO of Praeorbulina occurs at the base of the Badenian stage (Cicha and Rögl, 2003). The Karpatian is consistently considered to be time-equivalent to the latest Burdigalian. (Schlögl et al., 2011). STRATIGRAPHIC POSITION: The deposits of the abandoned clay pit are calcareous clay and clayey silt.

• group of beds-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: deep-water; poorly lithified, argillaceous, calcareous siltstone

• ENVIRONMENT: According to Schlögl et al. (2011), Paleodepth analyses allow us to estimate water depths of 240–330 m with extreme values ranging from 149 m to 498 m. The shallowest paleodepth of 238 m is estimated for the assemblage found in sample 16. The deepest paleodepth of 330 m was calculated for sample 15. To sum up these data, dysoxic to low oxygen bottom water conditions and absolute paleodepths of 240 to 330 m are indicated for the 2.20 m thick studied interval.
• SPECIFIC LITHOLOGY: Calcareous clay and clayey silt. LITHIFICATION: Poorly lithified.

Size classes: macrofossils, mesofossils

Reposited in the NHMW

Collection methods: surface (float), surface (in situ),

• COLLECTOR: Unknown. REPOSITORY: Natural History Museum Vienna (Austria).
