Ugljevik
Basic information
Sample name: Ugljevik
Sample aka: Bogutovo Selo
Reference: A. A. van de Weerd, H. de Bruijn, W. Wessels, and Z. Markovic. 2022. New late Oligocene rodent faunas from the Pannonian basin. Palaeobiodiversity and Palaeoenvironments 102:465-492 [ER 3964]
Geography
Country: Bosnia and Herzegovina
Coordinate: 44° 39' 49" N, 18° 59' 5" E
Coordinate basis: based on nearby landmark
Time interval: Late Oligocene
Ma: 26
Age basis: zone
Geography comments: most or all of the material is specifically from the Bogutovo Selo coal mine, also called the Ugljevik coal mine (basis of coordinate)
the fauna is shown in Fig. as roughly equivalent to MP27 through MP29, but this is nowhere discussed and an approximate date of 26 Ma based on biochronology is stated

Environment
Lithology: coal
Taphonomic context: bird accumulation,lake deposit
Habitat comments: "The 2004– 2005 rodent collection was made from the centre part of the main coal seam; the few rodents collected in 2018 are from the top of the main coal seam"
the coal is thought to represent a "marsh"
"The dominating Deperetomys calefactus is primarily represented by skull and mandible remains suggesting that this hamster lived within the marsh itself. Other rodents are very rare and mainly represented by isolated teeth which may have been brought in by birds of prey"

Methods
Life forms: rodents
Sampling methods: quarry,screenwash
Sample size: 223 specimens
Years: 2004, 2005, 2018
Sampling comments: "discovered by Zoran Marković during 1993 in the cellar of the Natural History Museum in Belgrade in brown coal used for heating of the museum... The Bogutovo Selo mine near Ugljevik was visited during 2004 and 2005, and rodents were collected from the middle part of the main coal seam"
many of the rodents were collected by visual inspection of hand-split "coal lumps" but "In addition, 200 to 300 kg of promising coal lumps" were screenwashed
lagomorphs are absent and insectivores are not discussed
Cadurcotherium and Anthracotherium are present in the mine, but from unknown levels and possibly not from the main coal seam
