Stratigraphy
| Regional section: | Baraolt Basin | ||||
| Stratigraphy comments: In the Brasov Depression, 'Early Villafranchian fauna showing many similarities to Triversa FU'. In normally magnetised deposits. Upper Pliocene, MN16b. Fossils found in the middle-upper level, white sands (layer 6). | |||||
Lithology and environment
| Lithology description: White sands. | |
| Geology comments: Littoral facies. Frost formations are noted beneath the fossiliferous layer. |
Taphonomy
| Size of fossils: | macrofossils |
Collection methods and comments
| Reason for describing collection: | biostratigraphic analysis |
| Taxonomic list comments:Dicerorhinus cf. jeanvireti and Dicerorhinus cf. etruscus listed in 1983, but not in any subsequent lists. Again D. etruscus is a later species than is meant to be found at this site (cf. Covrigi). | |
