Where: Lesvos, Greece (39.3° N, 25.9° E: paleocoordinates 38.1° N, 24.8° E)
• coordinate stated in text
• small collection-level geographic resolution
When: Early/Lower Miocene (23.0 - 16.0 Ma)
• ?MN3. The precise age of the fossiliferous layer has not yet been established with confidence. A radiometric date of 18.4 ± 0.5 Ma for the lower part of the overlying Skoutaros Fm provides the latest possible age for the underlying lacustrine deposits containing the fossiliferous layer.
• bed-level stratigraphic resolution
Environment/lithology: lacustrine - large; black, brown mudstone
Size classes: macrofossils, mesofossils
Collection methods: surface (in situ),
• The material is deposited at the Natural History Museum of the Lesvos Petrified Forest (Lesvos, Greece).
