said to correlate with Cernay based on the presence of P. remensis, i.e., P. tricuspidens zone, equivalent to the latest Tiffanian P. simonsi zone; Cernay is now thought to be late Thanetian bed 4 (Hooker and Russell 2012) shelly lens underlies the main Berru horizon

Kommentar z. Stratigraphie Lithographie
Lower Eocene, early Sparnacian (Landenian): NP 9, MP 7 (Smith & Smith, 2003) The Dormaal Sand Member consists of a series of thin and discontinuous layers of fluviatile pebbles, cross- bedded lignitic and clayey sands with thin gray clay lenses pointing to rapidly changing deposition conditions in a fluviatile system (Smith & Smith, 1996; Steurbaut et al., 1999).

Marnes de Dormans Marnes de Dormans; Platychoerops georgei type
Kommentar z. Stratigraphie Museum Kommentar z. Taxonomie
The unit is divisible into an upper part whose base is conglomeratic ("Conglomerat a Coryphodon") and a lower part with concretionary limestone and "Paludina" aspersa. The lower part may be equivalent to the Calcaire de Rilly, which overlies the Sables de Berru and like them belongs to the Sphaerochara edda charophyte zone (Riveline 1984 : 134). Except for the Coryphodon, it is not known in which level or levels the mammals occur, as they were found in quarry spoil (Louis et al. 1983). MNHN Some reworking

Montchenot East East of highway D951, Montchenot, near Reims, Marne Thanetian
zwischen 56 und 59.2 Millionen Jahren
Les Monts-Martin; Mont-Chenot
Kommentar z. Stratigraphie Museum Kommentar z. Taxonomie
Marnes de Montchenot Most fossil mammals come from levels E and F of Laurain and Henry (1968), which were also sampled most extensively, but fossils still occur further down in the section, including the top of level D. European mammalian reference level MP6 MNHN Almost all mammal specimens found at Montchenot are isolated teeth, mainly of micromammals. A maxillary with P3–M3 of a louisinine “condylarth” and a few other specimens with associated dental remains demonstrate the potential of these sites for delivering more complete fossil remains. More than 400 dental mammal specimens identifiable at least to genus level are currently available. Only few mammalian postcranial remains have been recovered up to now.

Marnes de Montchenot MNHN The full taxonomic list for Montchenot West is not provided in Jehle et al. (2012) - only those taxa explicitly stated as coming from this locality (rather than Montchenot East or a combined Montchenot fauna) are listed. Almost all mammal specimens found at Montchenot are isolated teeth, mainly of micromammals. A maxillary with P3–M3 of a louisinine “condylarth” and a few other specimens with associated dental remains demonstrate the potential of these sites for delivering more complete fossil remains.
