| Period: | Quaternary | Epoch: | Pleistocene |
| 10 m.y. bin: | Cenozoic 6 | ||
| Key time interval: | Early/Lower Pleistocene | ||
| Age range of interval: | 2.58000 - 0.77400 m.y. ago |
Stratigraphy
| Stratigraphy comments: Late Early Pleistocene, approximately 1Ma, older than Vallonnet. |
Lithology and environment
| Environment: | loess |
| Geology comments: Two episodes of deposition - very degraded aeolian loess, followed by river gravels and grey clays. The first indicates cold temperatures (also indicated by the fauna), whilst the latter is indicative of a more temperate climate. | |
Taphonomy
| Modes of preservation: | anthropogenic |
| Size of fossils: | macrofossils,mesofossils |
Collection methods and comments
| Reason for describing collection: | archaeological analysis |
| Collection method comments: Site found in 1980 by M.F and E. Bonifay. No faunal list for Ceyssaguet 2 is given - locality is inside the ancient volcanic crater. | |
