Age range of interval:20.44000 - 15.98000 m.y. ago
Stratigraphy
Stratigraphic resolution:group of beds
Stratigraphy comments: Late Burdigalian, Ottnangian stage. Dated as early Ottnangian based on benthic Foraminifera
Lithology and environment
Primary lithology: unlithified marl
Lithology description: Although this basal layer is predominantly composed of marl, it contains locally also coarse grained lenses composed largely of degraded granite sand, or patches of micritic limestone. The parautochthonous fauna considered here occurs in both siliciclastic and limestone facies Unlithified based on fossil preservation and sieving method.
Environment:open shallow subtidal
Geology comments: Relatively quiet setting affected by bottom currents at a paleo-depth of approximately 20 metres.
