| Basis of coordinate: | based on nearby landmark |
| Geographic resolution: | outcrop |
Time
| Period: | Neogene | Epoch: | Miocene |
| Stage: | Aquitanian | 10 m.y. bin: | Cenozoic 5 |
| Key time interval: | Aquitanian | ||
| Age range of interval: | 23.03000 - 20.44000 m.y. ago |

Lithology and environment
| Primary lithology: | lithified sandstone | ||
| Environment: | lacustrine - large | Tectonic setting: | rift |
| Geology comments: The deposits of St-Gérand-le-Puy are part of the infill of the Limagne Basin, a rift basin the origin of which is related to the alpine orogeny. Likely a brackish/hypersaline lake environment. | |||
