Fundort: Valea Graunceanului, Tetoiu 1 lower faunal horizon, Rumänien, , Rumänien
Taxon: Paradolichopithecus arvernensis aus der Familie Cercopithecidae
Fossilien und Beschreibung der Fundstelle:
Macrofossils, 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.
