Environment
Lithology: conglomerate
Habitat comments: the "fossiliferous beds" across the formation include "fine-grained, sub-mature conglomerate lenses and a marly upper part that contains mollusc debris" but the text and Fig. 1 indicate that the general lithology in this part of a the section is a "limy mudrock"
Methods
Life forms: rodents,other small mammals
Sample size: 13 specimens
Sampling comments: the site is "now inaccessible" and was sampled by "Orhan Kaya's team" approximately two decades before publication of this paper
the sediment was presumably screenwashed, but no details are given
