| Sammlung | Kommentar zum Fundort | Epoche, Alter | Kommentar zur Sammlung |
|---|---|---|---|
| Valea Graunceanului, Tetoiu 1 lower faunal horizon | Between Tetoiu (on which co-ordinates are based) and Irimesti (9km apart), in the Oltet river valley, in a valley called Valea Graunceanului (also called Valea Tetoi), on the western slope of a hill named Dealul Viilor. 2.5km north of La Pietris. | Piacenzian zwischen 2.59 und 3.6 Millionen Jahren |
Valea Tetoi, Graunceanu |
| Kommentar z. Stratigraphie | |||
| Late Pliocene, just before the Olduvai event (based on palaeomagnetism). Faunal comparison indicates that the Lower Faunal Horizon (Tetoiu 1) correlates with the upper part of the Khaprov faunal complex, upper MN17 (St Vallier Zone), probably equivalent to the Tiglian warm stage. It is suggested that Valea Graunceanului correlates with zone 5C of the Tiglian, and is a warmer pahse than that represnted by La Pietris. Site is approximately 88m below the top of the section, at the base of a silty sand, about 1.5m thick. |

| Slivnitsa | In a hilly carst area ('Kozyaka') within 30km NW of Sofia, close to the western part of the town of Slivnitsa. Co-ordinates based on Slivnitsa. | - zwischen 0.01 und 5.33 Millionen Jahren |

| Vatera F-Site | This is the richest site of the Formation . It has been named after the discovery of Funny fragments of bones at the initial stages of the research. The site was systematically excavated for 4 continues seasons (1997-2000), yielding 550 fossils belonging to 15 different species of mammals, one bird and one reptile (the giant tortoise). Based on the fauna composition the site has been attributed to the MN 17 (about 2 Ma) (from Lyras and van der Geer, 2007) | Calabrian zwischen 0.78 und 2.59 Millionen Jahren |

DFN3 |
| Lithographie | ||
| DFN and DFN3 are part of the same fossiliferous layer of ochre silty sands exposed on the opposite slopes of an erosional crest. Stratigraphically, the fossil-yielding horizon is found ~0.5 m below a 1e2 m thick, dense conglomerate in a 20 m high section. The fossiliferous deposits belong to the basal part of a 60 m thick terrestrial lithostratigraphic unit of fluviatile origin that overlies unconformably molassic palustrial sediments ascribed to the Tsotylion Formation of the Mesohellenic Trench (Fountoulis et al., 2001 and references therein) |
