Hammerschmiede 5 channel (Miocene of Germany)

Also known as HAM 5

Where: Bavaria, Germany (47.9° N, 10.6° E: paleocoordinates 47.7° N, 10.4° E)

• coordinate stated in text

When: Tortonian (11.6 - 7.2 Ma)

Environment/lithology: channel lag; gravel

• The HAM 5 channel represents a riffle pool sequence of a small and shal-low meandering rivulet with a talweg width of 4–5 m and a maximum pool depth of 1 m. The gravelly bed load is composed exclusively of reworked pedogenic carbonate concretions that are typically 4–8 mm in diameter. Similar concretions are abundant in Bk palaeosol horizons of the bedrock, indicating a local source of HAM 5 rivulet

Size classes: macrofossils, mesofossils, microfossils

Collected in 2011-2018

Collection methods: quarrying, ,

• All Hammerschmiede fossils are stored in the palaeontological col-lection of the University of Tübingen (acronym GPIT), a research infrastructure of the Senckenberg Institute for Human Evolution and Palaeoenvironment (SHEP) Tübingen.
