Geography
Country: Slovakia

State: Bratislava


Coordinate: 48.214058° N, 17.260687° E
Coordinate basis: stated in text

Formation: Danube Basin

Time interval: Late Miocene

Zone: MN11

Section: Trib-3

Unit number: 3

Unit order: above to below

Age basis: zone

Geography comments: The Triblavina locality is situated next to a road near Triblavina, Slovakia and was unearthed during period of construction

Dated to lowermost MN11 (<8.9 Ma) via biostratigraphy and Be/Be dating

Environment
Lithology: mudstone

Taphonomic context: fluvial deposit

Habitat comments: "overlain by 60 cm thick clayey mud. The colour of this horizon changes...to dark grey and almost black" (Joniak et al 2020)

"The Fp facies composition lacks alteration marks, and thus was not subaerially exposed and represents a poorly-drained floodplain, possibly a shallow swamp" (Joniak et al 2020)

Methods
Life forms: rodents

Sampling methods: screenwash

Sample size: 81 specimens

Years: 2017

Sampling comments: ~2.5 tons of sediment was wet sieved (smallest mesh size = 0.5)

Counts excluded:
Keramidomys sp. - 6
