• "La position du niveau à vertébrés dans la série sédimentaire de Prémontré, ainsi que les indications données par quelques mammifères, avaient conduit Dégremont et al. (1985) à proposer un âge Cuisien terminal pour cette faune de Prémontré. Par la suite, Godinot (1987) a placé le gisement dans le niveau-standard MP 10, dont Grauves est la localité de référence, de l'échelle de niveaux de références du Paléogène européen basée sur les mammifères (Schmidt-Kittler, 1987). Ce niveau MP 10 s'accorde avec un âge Cuisien terminal." [The position of the vertebrate-bearing horizon within the sedimentary succession of Prémontré, as well as data provided by some mammal taxa, led Dégremont et al. (1985) to propose a latest Cuisian [i.e. latest Ypresian, Early Eocene; TL] age for this Prémontré fauna. Subsequently, Godinot (1987) placed the site in the standard Paleogene mammal zone MP 10 (Schmidt-Kittler, 1987), of which Grauve is the type locality. The MP 10 interval corresponds to a latest Cuisian age.] (Augé et al., 1997)
