13.82 - 12.8 Ma

The definition of this interval in the timescale European Faunal Zones is taken from the following source:

• F. F. Steininger, W. A. Berggren, D. V. Kent, R. L. Bernor, S. Sen and J. Agusti. 1996. Circum-Mediterranean Neogene (Miocene and Pliocene) marine-continental chronologic correlations of European mammal units. The Evolution of Western Eurasian Neogene Mammal Faunas (eds. R. L. Bernor, V. Fahlbusch, and H.-W. Mittmann) view

The top age has been interpolated based on the differences between the ages for international timescale boundaries quoted in the source and the currently accepted ages for those boundaries.

There are intervals in 9 timescales which overlap this one. show

• International Chronostratigraphic Timescale: Miocene epoch, Serravallian age
• Cenozoic Subepochs: Middle Miocene subepoch
• European Faunal Units: Astaracian subage
• Central Paratethys Stages: Badenian age
• Neogene Mammal Ages of China: Tunggurian age
• North American Land Mammal Ages: Barstovian age
• North American Mammal Subages/Zones: early Late Barstovian subage, late Late Barstovian subage, Early Barstovian subage
• South American Land Mammal Ages: Colloncuran age, Laventan age
• Cretaceous-Cenozoic of New Zealand: Waiauan age, Lillburnian age, Southland epoch
