Stratigraphy
Stratigraphic resolution: | group of beds | ||||
Stratigraphy comments: \"...the entire assemblage of fossiliferous Miocene fissure fillings found in Garrrgano to date, represents a series of some ten biozones which can be defined by the degree of evolutoin of the Muridae. This definistion will be set out in a forthcoming paper fy Messrs. J. Michaux and R. Geesink and [Freudenthal]. For the time being, however, I may state that the majority of specimens of Deinogalerix were recovered from localities which are assigned to the highest three or four biozones.\" |
