Environment
Lithology: lignite
Taphonomic context: lake deposit
Habitat comments: Harami is part of the Ilgın Basin, an intra-montane basin consisting of "continental clastic sediments unconformably resting on a basement of Palaeozoic metamorphics and Mesozoic limestones"
Harami 4 is situated in the Harmanyazi Member (Graben) of the Ilgın Formation, an Early Miocene formation composed of "claystone, marl, limestone, and coal interbeds"
"The lignite seams in Ilgın region occurs at the base of the lacustrine sequence of the Harmanyazi Formation which mainly consists of whitish marls up to 180 m thick"
Harami 4 is located "within the lignites"
The presence of beavers and the diversity of insectivores indicate a "swamp forest with a lush undergrowth"
