Basic information
Sample name: Silata

Reference: K. V. Vasileiadou, G. D. Koufos, and G. E. Syrides. 2003. Silata, a new locality with micromammals from the Miocene/Pliocene boundary of the Chalkidiki peninsula, Macedonia, Greece. In Distribution and Migration of Tertiary Mammals in Eurasia (eds. J. W. F. Reumer, W. Wessels), pp. [ER 2362]
Geography
Country: Greece


Coordinate: 40° 20' N, 23° 8' E
Coordinate basis: based on nearby landmark

Formation: Gonia

Time interval: Early Pliocene

Zone: MN13/14

Ma: 5

Geography comments: "1.5 km NE of the Nea Silata village" (coordinate based on Nea Silata)
"The sediments belong to the Silata Mb of the Gonia Fm... a Latest Turolian/Earliest Ruscinian age is very possible" (meaning MN13 or MN14; treated as Early Pliocene because the MN13/14 boundary is within the Early Pliocene and around 5 Ma)

•
Environment
Substrate: ground surface

Lithology: claystone

Habitat comments: "The micromammals originate from two horizons, bed 2 (silts-clays) and bed 3 (clayey-marly sands). Both horizons contain, except for the micromammals, fragments of teeth and bones from large mammals, reptiles (Testudo fragments), a lot of fresh-water mollusks and opercula of Gastropods"

Methods
Life forms: bats,rodents,other small mammals

Sample size: 686 specimens

Sampling comments: collecting methods not discussed
faunal list is complete
