Geography comments: "about two kilometres north east of the village of Süngülü" (coordinate based on Süngülü)
"Latest Eocene or Earliest Oligocene" but the "presence of an indeterminate glyptosaure... seems to be in favour a Late Eocene Age" (i.e., MP19 or about 34.5 Ma based on the time scale of Walliser et al. 2016)

Habitat comments: "near the top of a ± 45 m thick section of fluvio-lacustrine deposits... The mammal remains have been collected from two subsequent beds: A ± 40 cm thick tuffite with operculae of gastropods, and the overlying ± 30 cm of white silty limestone with silicified nodules" (most specimens are from the third of three point samples, which is from the upper level)
