Na Duong Coal Mine (base of lower lignite seam) (Eocene to of Vietnam)

Where: Lang Son, Vietnam (21.8° N, 106.1° E: paleocoordinates 21.6° N, 105.0° E)

• coordinate based on nearby landmark

• small collection-level geographic resolution

When: Na Duong Formation, Bartonian to Bartonian (41.3 - 33.9 Ma)

• Attributed to the middle–late Eocene age by Bohme et al. (2013), but Ducrocq et al. (2015) argue for an early late Eocene or middle late Eocene age. Garbin et al (2019) give an upper Bartonian - late Priabonian (34-39 Ma) age.

•Base of the lower lignite seam of the Na Duong Formation

• bed-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: terrestrial; claystone and lignite

• Lignitic clays

Size classes: macrofossils, mesofossils

Collected in 2012, 2013
