Fossilien und Beschreibung der Fundstelle: | ||
Macrofossils,mesofossils, 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) | ||
