Coordinate basis: estimated from map

Time interval: Late Oligocene

Zone: MP30

Environment
Lithology: claystone

Taphonomic context: lake deposit

Habitat comments: "The fossil faunas of Kargı 1 is found from black clays rich in organic material"
"The depositional palaeoenvironment of the sites Kargı 1, Kargı 2, Harami 1, Harami 3 and Hancılı can be interpreted as swamp or marsh"

Methods
Life forms: fishes,frogs,lizards,snakes,other reptiles

Sampling methods: screenwash

Sample size: 142 specimens

Sampling comments: "The studied fossil material has been collected from the fossiliferous horizons by screen washing of the sediment samples and picking the sediment residue. The described material is temporarily stored in the palaeontological collection of the University Utrecht (UU) and will be returned to the General directorate of mineral research and exploration (MTA) in Ankara"
