Where: Poland (50.6° N, 19.5° E: paleocoordinates 50.7° N, 19.1° E)

• coordinate stated in text

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: MN 14 (4.9 - 4.2 Ma)

• Pliocene-Pleistocene, unit corresponds to Gunz-Mindel Interglacial (in early refs), the bone breccia includes both in-situ and specimens from a dump-pile, no stratigraphy is discernable, but the in-situ bed is only 4m in thickness. Kowalski, 1962 (Ref 8869), revises age to just Pliocene, so not from the interglacial. Later authors put age at Middle Pliocene (from 1963 on). Assigned to mammalian zone MN 14 (Ref 9172, 1989).

Size classes: macrofossils, mesofossils, microfossils

Collection methods: salvage, surface (float), surface (in situ), chemical, mechanical,
